Very good
Jim wrote this book before CNBC & Mad Money mania took over his life. There is a lot to be gained from this book because it's a balanced, sensible read, as opposed to the craziness of his CNBC show.

I won’t be shy about it: I really enjoyed this book. If I were to rank the books I’ve read so far in this series, this one would be a strong #2. Not only was it enjoyable reading, it was also informative and it didn’t talk down to me as a reader,
Not really a trading related book but solid foundation and you should definately read it if you are starting out , More meant for investors or long term position traders but this stuff is foundational , so you do need this , One of the books i started out my career with
I think this is a great book for beginners and people who would like a basic education in investing on their own.
"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...
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?".

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. But not without some strong caveats: his approach requires devoting at least an hour a week to educating you Read more...
"Everyone follows Cramer because of his show and his namesake but this is the type of book I'd expect parents to be reading in their late 50's not someone who's interested in becoming a trader. Jim touches on the ways to invest smart when the rest of the market isn't acting rational but I feel like Read more...
"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...
"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...
"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...
