The author (probably thanks to his co-writer) sounds like a real person who is sound of mind. When I first saw "Watch TV, Get Rich" on the cover, I laughed aloud. So, kudos to Cliff Mason.I would recommend this book and I would recommend the cautious and circumspect approach Jim Cramer advocates. I thought, "Now THIS is the Gen-X American dream."I'm in the process of reading this book (taking notes as I go) and all I can say is that I wish I'd had this book years ago when I first thought of participating in "the Stock Market". Not only is it concise and well-written, but Jim Cramer's over-the-top TV personna doesn't come through in this book. To borrow from Mr. Cramer's philosophy of buying stocks - read slowly and think carefully about what you're about to do.Best regards.
My husband got me into Jim Cramer. His books are as informative as he is exhuberant on his show. I couldn't put it down.Jim Cramer's Mad Money: Watch TV, Get Rich
Great book to listen too on a trip. It has your full attention and great insight to investing. Cramer is a little nuts but he is a genious when it comes to investing.
This is a great companion/complement to Jim's Mad Money show. Highly recommended read, and if you do not already watch Mad Money, PLEASE DO. He guides his audience/readers through ensuring they understand their own investment needs and to challenge his advice/recommendations.
In addition it is filled with his learnings from his experience both from managing his hedge fund to his charitable portfolio. He also readily shares his failures and how we can avoid them. This book dives right into the practicalities of how Jim goes about analyzing stocks, segments etc.
It is through this thought process that we can reduce making investment mistakes. Unlike other books on investment, this is a book that you can read and start applying right away by studying, researching and buying/selling stocks. What I most enjoy about it is the objectivity in which Cramer presents the information.
Finally another thing I really like is that Jim's strategies and recommendations are very adaptive based on what he sees happening in the marketplace. Looking forward to reading more of Jim's books.
I highly recommend this book to anyone watching MAD MONEY.- Mariusz Skonieczny, author of Why Are We So Clueless about the Stock Market. Every investor has a different investment strategy and not all of his picks will fit into everyone's portfolio.
Yes, it is true that he makes more money when more people watch it because more advertisers are interested to buy their 30-second pitch, but Jim simply wants to educate and protect the average investor from being burned by the big and unscrupulous guys on Wall Street. I am a professional investor and I truly admire what Jim Cramer does for his viewers.
But most importantly he stresses that investors do their homework. In this book, Jim explains that Mad Money is a tool and that investors should not be buying the stock he recommends during after hour-trading because they will get burned by short-sellers.
He ideally wants the viewers to buy the stock after a week or even longer. As Jim writes, everyone should know themselves and their goals.
