Jim Cramer's Mad Money

Watch TV, Get Rich

By: James J. Cramer, Cliff Mason

Narrated by: James J. Cramer

Personal finance expert and bestselling author Jim Cramer shows investors how to use the information and advice from his top-rated CNBC show Mad Money to succeed in the stock market.

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 Jim Cramer’s Mad Money, 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.©2006 J.J.

Excellent listen

Would you listen to Jim Cramer's Mad Money again? Why?

I already have started. It is full of useful information explained in an interesting way. It is an awesome supplement to his show and stands on its own just fine too.

Don't be hesitant to purchase just because it was written before the big crash in 2008 - even though any specific references to companies at the time may be out of date, (a fact he even addresses in the book itself) the fundamentals are all still very applicable.

I plan to purchase more of his books.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

There is a market for everything.

Any additional comments?

Booyah!

more Cramer

Similar to Cramer's tv routine, but better--more explanation, more teaching, less hysteria. And the work sheets are a good supplement.

Like the show & you'll like the book.

This sums up what the show is trying to get across and helps you digest the TV show and make better decisions.

Fantastic,

great book, always informative and fun. Coupled with watching the TV show and following his advice in his book educates me towards being greater wealth :-)

Excellent!!!!!!

This book is a perfect place to start, I started out the wrong way and lost a lot of money. I pumped the brakes and bought the book and listened to it every day while driving. I have made my losses back and am up 24% in 90 days.
