Cramer pumps stocks on his show and I have made some decent money by buying those stocks in after hours trading and selling them immediately when the market opens on the next day as his viewers flood the market with buy orders. Apparently, his viewers aren't sophisticated enough to use after hours trading (or limit orders for that matter). So it is a bit like pennies from heavan. I made $333 this morning before I got to the office using that strategy.

That said, some of his viewers do understand after hours trading. So I am having trouble getting in at the best price. I could make much more money if I could make my trades closer to the time he mentions the stock. Hence my desire to see the show in real time.

So I don't need top quality video. I just need to be able to see the tickers and maybe hear his comments. Even a low tech web cam might work. But I've never had a web cam so I am a bit clueless. Despite my career in computer programming, I'm barely able to download pictures from my digicam to my hard drive. SO I am way behind the times.
