...Cramer? What person do you turn to for financial advice? -Edward Kaufholz, Winter park, Fla. There's a bunch of guys I really respect. I respect my friend Doug Kass, who had called the market's absolute bottom, 630 on the S&P. That was just an unbelievable, home-run call. I also still go back and look at what Peter Lynch wrote...

Both McGwire, with 70 home runs, and Sosa, with 66, blew away the record 61 home runs of Roger Maris that had stood as the standard for 37 years.
