“My charitable trust has owned it initially. It was gold now it’s fool’s gold. I’m irate.”
Earlier this year, Cramer shared his discussions with Danaher Corporation (NYSE:DHR)’s management. Here is what he said:
“I think those guys are great—the Rales brothers are amazing. Even when I’m moody, you know, they have Rales stake there and the commander, so I love them even more. But here’s what I mean by that: I want them to show me they understand there’s been some serious underperformance here. They could come back and say, “We’ve outperformed for so many years, Jim, give us patience.” I just want something that shows me they understand we’re getting restless. I think that’s a reasonable thing to say, and I do like them very much.”
