Mad Money
Jim Cramer's Mad Money is a stock investing book, pure and simple. The introduction plays up the book as a follow up to Jim Cramer's Real Money, his first investing book. It's designed to share many of the lessons that Cramer learned in his first year or so of running his Mad Money show, in all its crazy glory. Jim offers valuable information that can be the basis for a winning portfolio. He shows how to turn the "Lightning Round" into a terrific tool for investing; it's stock-market strength training. He reveals how he can assess a stock in only seconds - a valuable skill that every investor can acquire and put to good use. Cramer walks investors through how to make key decisions: understanding their tolerance for risk and defining their goals, doing the essential homework on a stock, and knowing how to buy and sell stocks the right way -the Cramer way.
