Cramer’s SELL BLOCK (BPT, FRO)

On CNBC’s MAD MONEY tonight, Cramer went over his SELL BLOCK.  This is where he says to take profits or losses.  Here it is:  New Century Financial (NEW): Cramer was negative on it ahead of earnings.  Dividends don’t lie, but this one was a lie.  Cramer has two more dividends that could be signaling a lie too because they are so high they give a warning flag.

Prudhoe Bay (BPT) and Frontline (FRO) are BOTH going into the SELL BLOCK because their dividends are too ridiculously high. BPT is down 18% and the stock and the dividend have to drop.  FRO and its 28% yield are misleading because they have to sell off assets to maintain that payment instead of using funds from operations.
