Editorial Review:

How do we find hot stocks without getting burned? How do we fatten our portfolios and stay financially healthy? Former hedge-fund manager and longtime Wall Street commentator Jim Cramer explains how to invest wisely in chaotic times, and he does so in plain English in a style that is as much fun as investing is -- or should be, when it's done right.

For starters, Cramer recommends devoting a portion of your assets to speculation. Everyone wants to find the big winners that can bring outsized gains, and Cramer explains how to allocate your portfolio so that you can afford to take this kind of risk wisely. He explains why "buy and hold" is a losing philosophy: For Cramer, it's "buy and homework." If you can't spend an hour a week researching each of your stocks, then you should hand off your portfolio to a mutual fund -- and Cramer identifies the very few mutual funds that he'd recommend.

Cramer reveals his Ten Commandments of Trading (Commandment #5: Tips are for waiters). He explains why he's not afraid to compare investing to gambling (and tells you which book on gambling you should read to become a better investor). He discloses his Twenty-Five Rules of Investing (Rule #4: Look for broken stocks, not broken companies).

Cramer shows how to compare stock prices in a way that you can understand, how to spot market tops and bottoms, how to know when to sell, how to rotate among cyclical stocks to catch the big moves, and much more. Jim Cramer's Real Money is filled with insider advice that really works, information that Cramer himself used to make millions during his fourteen-year career on Wall Street.

Written in Cramer's distinctive turbocharged style, this is every investor's guide to what you really must know to make big money in the stock market.

Average Rating:

Rating: - Outstanding

I have heard a lot of people that I know put Jim down after watching his TV show Mad Money. They never have good arguments about why they put down the show and in the end their complaints always boil down to "I just don't like the guy because he seams like a sleazy car salesman." In short they don't like Jim Cramer because he doesn't "seem" like your average financial geek. But you know what? They never really listen to him about the stock and the company that he is talking about. They generally ... Read More  (Related)

Rating: - I'm not completely convinced by the trading ideas

I decided to read this book after watching Jim Cramer on his show "Mad Money," which is entertaining, almost like watching a "yell and sell" infomercial for get-rich schemes or miracle mops.

This book is oftentimes rambling in its basic explanations of stock valuation, but its message of "buy and homework" is important--basically, an investor needs to stay active in the market and keep abreast of breaking news to profit. Cramer recommends spending an hour a week of homework for each ... Read More  (Related)

Rating: - Great read for newbies

If you are new to investing...this is a great read. Some of his principles are reverberated throughout other similar books. Cramer suggests buying stocks using "limit" orders, but for every day investors buying a couple hundred shares, it might not make a big difference. Limit orders should be made on stocks that have low trade volume or on penny stocks that can swing wildly.

I recommend The Intelligent Investor.

Rating: - Don't buy. Sell, sell, sell.

This book is a little more entertaining than his newer "Mad Money" book.

If you base your investment decision based on his books, then you are really mad.

Rating: - The Stock Market Made Fun

Jim Cramer of Mad Money (on MSNBC) fame was once a hedge fund manager trading stocks and made his investors tons of money. He's retired from that business nowadays and goes more the route of advising people through his radio show, TV show, and website. In this book, he describes the ins and outs of investing and trading on the stock market and strategies for playing the cycles of the market.

One of his rules is that if you are going to invest in individual stocks, you need to spend at ... Read More  (Related)
