Booyah!
Every now and then my spouse tunes in to Jim Cramer's Mad Money show and I confess that Mr. Cramer's boisterous style used to make me simply get up and leave the room for awhile, but either I've grown accustomed to his voice or he's toned it down just a wee bit lately for those of us with tender ears. In either case, he has extremely useful information to offer. If you'd like to know more about what he's saying but you find the yelling and sound effects a bit much you can still get online recaps of his TV show.
Mr. Cramer's newest book is Jim Cramer's Mad Money: Watch TV, Get Rich
.
But his best-known offering is almost two years old.
Jim Cramer's Real Money: Sane Investing in an Insane World
.
He'll tell you some of the usual things when it comes to investing in stocks, such as
as recommending that you diversify. But he goes against the grain of some of the
old-school "buy-and-hold" philosophy when he tells us we have to do our
homework on our own investments and be willing to get rid of stocks that are
essentially sucking the profits out of our better stocks. It's taken me awhile to
warm up to his shtick, but it's worth working through all the yelling and sound
effects he uses on TV if it gets you to the heart of his no-nonsense advice on
being an active participant in your investments in a time when things change so
rapidly in the world of business.
