Critic reviews

“Careful isn't the word that usually comes to mind when investors think of Jim Cramer...[b]ut Cramer says his show has changed, and his newest book reflects this epiphany. Cramer is now professing a different, more traditional, approach to the stock picking.” (USA Today)

“In highly accessible language, Cramer explains how the stock market is influenced by economic data, Fed policy, world events, the actions of hedge funds, and the trend toward sector funds even when the underlying fundamentals of a stock remain stable. Drawing on his long experience, both mistakes and successes, Cramer demystifies the stock market and offers sound investing advice and an insightful overview of the market for cautious investors.” (Booklist)

“Look to this book for guiding principles rather than specific stock tips.... Forget about getting rich quick: The new investment climate, writes Mad Money host Cramer, is 'treacherous...bizarre stock movements have become the staple, if not the hallmark, of this era'. Cramer, formerly known for his exuberant approach...has since taken a visibly more deliberate approach to the matter. This new book reflects his caution.... Cramer’s long list of dos and don’ts ('Relative valuations don’t justify a purchase'; 'Stop falling in love with your stocks') is worth the price of the book.” (Kirkus)

Any additional comments?

Cramer know’s his stuff and all of his books I have found helpful to learn about companies,markets,investing and trading. His analysis and experience,in the field is much needed as you sure wont get many insights from so called guru’s that operate behind tightly locked doors unless of coarse you pay 3.5Million to have dinner. ;)

Needs to be updated

Cramer should release an updated version of this book. He makes a lot of good points in it, but some of his references are outdated since many of the companies he mentions fortunes have changed since the book came out.
