Promisses and Promisses
Well, I am not a stranger to Options. Have done my own picks and used many techniques. As a result of time restraints and being on the road, I thought I would use this firm that claims to have over Read more...

Not Great: But better than I expected. It is from Cramer
"If you're new to investing in equities, this book would be a good starter. Jim puts alot of emphasis on stock selection, and not enough on money managment. In my opinion, I value money mangment over stock selection overall. I like the book overall but when you jump from texts on how to quantify mar Read more...

Rookie mistake
Cramer will reel in the rookies (including me) with his flair but in the end following him is a big mistake. In this book when he talks about losing 90 million dollars in his hedge fund one day at first I thought "Wow! how did he recover from that?". Later I realize that he never used his own mone Read more...

Knowledgeable
After telling the story of his own trading days in Confessions of a Street Addict, Cramer appeases fans hoping for advice on how to duplicate his success with their own investment portfolios.

Cramer Knows Marketing and does it again here

"Read this book years ago when I was about 15, and I must say Cramer's book was definitely what got me into trading and has made me decide to make it a career. Though, at the same time I have never really used any of his 'techniques' (if he has any). One of his picks, KBR in 2008 made me a lot of $ Read more...

The world's highest paid pumper!!
"Don't know about the rest of you but I think he is a complete idiot, but I must admit he does make me laugh. When I saw the book I simply had to buy it.........lol The info is very basic and geared towards the 80 year old lady who trades with a small amount of her late husbands money in between kni Read more...

Entertaining look at basic strategies for rookie investors
"I actually listened to the audiobook version of this book and found it quite entertaining. Most people probably can't take hours upon hours of listening to Cramer read his own book , but I didn't mind his colorful commentary on the stock market. I enjoyed listening to him read his own book and wo Read more...
