It is so reassuring to watch this interview with Jim Cramer. Helps remind you that the market is not efficient and that there are people like that on the other side of the trade.

A good lesson not to be sucked into the volatility but take advantage of it.

Definitely true but not as simple as what Cramer says because first and foremost you need to know the players in that security and what are they trying to do. It's usually not profitable to go against the London Whale or Wilmar in palm for eg and why a major like Temasek would stabilise Olam.
