Whisper in my ear

"I read this book and all I am thinking, how come I can't call the CEO of a company and have them whisper in my ear? When Cramer started out he was good at picking stocks, but this book made him look bad. But he is very rich now. ---> David"

Good easy read about a hedge fund and an IPO

"This was a quick & easy read, so I can forgive it for not *bursting* with great info. Still a good read and another viewpoint into how hedge funds work.

Couldn't put this book down

An insightful read on what makes Cramer go crazy. Much like an autobiography, it portrays the window into the hedge fund industry. Cramer exposes his successes and mistakes. Couldn't put this book down, very entertaining.
