Synopsis

Even after repeated boom and bust cycles on Wall Street, it’s still possible to make real money in the stock market—provided investors take a disciplined approach to investing. Personal finance expert, bestselling author, and host of CNBC’s Mad Money Jim Cramer shows how ordinary investors can prosper, no matter the climate on Wall Street.

How do we find hot stocks without getting burned? How do we fatten our portfolios and stay financially healthy? In Jim Cramer’ s Real Money, financial expert 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), 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), and discloses his Twenty-Five Rules of Investing (Rule #4: Look for broken stocks, not broken companies).

Detailed yet approachable, 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.

Goodreads review by Charles on May 18, 2011

I started listening to Jim Cramer about a decade ago when I was still living in South-East Austin. There was a 50,000 watt AM station (WOAI) being broadcast out of San Antonio that was somehow able to get coverage all the way to me, some 80 miles away. As I drove around town I would listen intently......more

This book is a classic example of why you should always do your homework. For my short investment career, I've been led to believe that Cramer was a buffoon. I know now that that is extremely false.......more
