Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: "Investing well isn't easy, but it is possible. My goal in life is to make it easier for you to make money." Jim Cramer is the champion of the middle-class investor. Every night on Mad Money, he provides valuable information about stocks, steering investors away from danger zones and leading them to the investments that can turn a lackluster portfolio into a powerhouse of profit. In his new book, he shows investors how to take the advice on his TV program and put it into action. Cramer walks investors through the key decisions they have to make: understanding their tolerance for risk and defining their goals, doing the essential homework on a stock, and knowing how to buy and sell stocks the right way -- the Cramer way. This is a true nuts-and-bolts guide to investing, from Cramer's detailed discussion of the sort of homework investors must do to his own guidelines for knowing when and how to sell stocks. Mad Money is a hugely entertaining television program, but it also offers valuable information that can be the basis for a winning portfolio. Cramer shows how to turn the "Lightning Round" into a terrific tool for investing; it's stock-market strength training. He reveals how he can assess a stock in only seconds -- a valuable skill that every investor can acquire and put to good use. He explains what to look for in his CEO and CFO interviews, and how to use those conversations to make successful investment decisions. He reviews some of his best calls made on Mad Money, as well as some of his worst ones, to extract ten lessons from each that can profit every investor. And for the Mad Money junkies who just can't get enough, Cramer goes behind the scenes to explain everything from the reason behind his deliberate mispronunciations to his notorious chair abuse to the zany props and buttons that keep things humming. From the first "Booyah" to the last roar of the bull, Mad Money is every investor's favorite television program, and Jim Cramer's Mad Money is the book that can turn a TV program into a top-notch stock portfolio.

BUY BUY BUY this book
A great follow-up by Jim Cramer to his book "Real Money." In "Real Money" (read that one first), Jim explains some of the basic ideas you can use to stay slightly ahead of the market. Jim often says (in his books and on TV) that he doesn't believe in a pure "buy and hold" strategy, but rather "buy and homework." In Real Money he explains some ways you can know the time to BUY... in this book he adds more detail, and further explains all of the required HOMEWORK you have to do before buying, and what you have to do to know when to SELL SELL SELL. His style is entertaining, and his language is straightforward. A great book for those small investors looking for plain talk and a way to understand the market.

Good Supplimental Book
This book is more of a suppliment to one of Jim Cramer's earlier writings with some updates to his previous commentary. It's a shorter read than his earlier two investment books and focuses on some of the same topics as in earlier books but with updated information.
I personally take notes when I read books like this and find his strategy to be a very good one. The cream of the crop in this book however is his detailed explanation and back of the book hand out for "doing the homework". As you may or may not know, Jim Cramer doesn't believe in Buy & Hold, but Buy & Homework. In review of a stock I now do the following:
1. Review companies balance sheet
2. Compare companies current PEG to it's peers, sector and industry
3. Review it's trading multiple
4. Review it's dividend yeild (and compare to others)
5. Develop a thesis on why I like the stock
6. Listen to the quarterly conference calls (this is a BIG tip and as boring as they can be, you really should do this)
7. Review the quarterly and annual reports
8. Become as familiar with where I believe the stock is GOIGN rather than where it's been.
Jim goes into some specifics about how to watch his show, what to take seriously, how to and what to listen for when he has guests on his show, and a key one, that the Lightning Round is really just for fun and there is no real work that has been put into this segment of the show.
Overall, Jim Cramer writes about investing in a way that is enjoyable and understandable for the common investor who believes that we can manage our own portfolios well enough on our own. I would recommend that you take these writings seriously and come to terms with what you believe to be true and then test them.
While I prefer his previous two books in regards to this subject more, I found this book to be worth the buy and I'm proud to have it in my library.

Mad Money: Watch TV and Get Rich
Jim Cramer has allowed me to have peace of mind about my small investments. I am 77 and have not known who to believein this trepid market; however, I have found him to be straight forward, honest and dedicated to help the little investor. I have read all his books and watch his program. I wouldn't consider a move without him. Right now he is advising me to sit still and believe you me, I am following Jim Cramer's advice.
Love ya',
