Jim Cramer often talks about what he and the team that helps manage his charitable portfolio did wrongso that investors can understand the process and learn. So, in his latest monthly call with members of his Action Alerts PLUS club for investors, Cramer spent a lot of time talking about what went wrong with an investment in 3M (MMM) , even though he and his team seemed to do everything right.
