  <default_description>How do we find hot stocks without getting burned? How do we fatten our portfolios and stay financially healthy? Former hedge-fund manager and longtime Wall Street commentator Jim Cramer explains how to invest wisely in chaotic times, and he does so in plain English in a style that is as much fun as investing is -- or should be, when it's done right.&lt;P&gt;For starters, Cramer recommends devoting a portion of your assets to speculation. Everyone wants to find the big winners that can bring outsized gains, and Cramer explains how to allocate your portfolio so that you can afford to take this kind of risk wisely. He explains why &quot;buy and hold&quot; is a losing philosophy: For Cramer, it's &quot;buy and homework.&quot; If you can't spend an hour a week researching each of your stocks, then you should hand off your portfolio to a mutual fund  -- and Cramer identifies the very few mutual funds that he'd recommend.&lt;P&gt;Cramer reveals his Ten Commandments of Trading (Commandment #5: Tips are for waiters). He explains why he's not afraid to compare investing to gambling (and tells you which book on gambling you should read to become a better investor). He discloses his Twenty-Five Rules of Investing (Rule #4: Look for broken stocks, not broken companies).&lt;P&gt;Cramer shows how to compare stock prices in a way that you can understand, how to spot market tops and bottoms, how to know when to sell, how to rotate among cyclical stocks to catch the big moves, and much more. &lt;I&gt;Jim Cramer's Real Money&lt;/I&gt; is filled with insider advice that really works, information that Cramer himself used to make millions during his fourteen-year career on Wall Street.&lt;P&gt;Written in Cramer's distinctive turbocharged style, this is every investor's guide to what you really must know to make big money in the stock market.&lt;P&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Yes, the man's insane but also bright and compassionate w a photographic memory.  Cramer had some great suggestions that turn investing on its head compared to 20 years ago. For instance, the question to ask is &quot;what will the stock do tomorrow?&quot; and not what I paid for it (the past).

    <body><![CDATA[Bueha!  Jim Cramer is loud and a madman on his TV program. You might not like his style, but this book is a good guide for investors or those interested in learning about buying stock.  According to Cramer it's &quot;not buy and hold&quot; when it comes to stock.  It's &quot;buy and homework.&quot; ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18257003">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this one of the times when I thought I wanted to make a mint.  It's pretty good, I guess.  Basically, the gist of it is a system for trading if you are willing to commit yourself to dedicating a huge amount of time managing your portfolio.  Otherwise, Jim recommends some good index funds to p...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/15871563">more...</a>]]></body>

I don't agree with his emphasis on timing the market by investing in cyclical businesses. <br/><br/><br/>I recommend as a first book on investing: The Warren Buf...]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is pretty good for the beginner investor and as a refresher for the active trader.  Cramer can be tough to swallow some times, but he covers basic trading fundamentals with real life examples.   I can't handle watching his show anymore, but this book is a little less in your face.  ]]></body>
