My Favorite Read This Year!

Okay, it is only January, but this well written autobiography is hard to put down (and if you have any interest in the stock market it is worth 5 stars).

The way Jim Cramer pulls no punches and names names makes it easy to understand how he can be such a polarizing character (and wonder how many people and organizations considered libel suits because of this book). The fact that he is so explicit and so honest about some of his own shortcomings gives the book a lot more credibility.

The book gives good balance to different phases of his life, as student, reporter, law student, intern, broker, hedge fund manager, TV personality, and dot com entrepreneur. There is a lot of conflict and laugh out loud humor (well for me anyway).

This is not a "How to" investment book, but there are some nuggets in it (e.g., about Manias). If you want that, get "Real Money: Sane Investing in an Insane World".

There is no doubt that Jim Cramer is a good writer, a self promoter, extremely driven, and very intelligent. After reading this, some people will like him more (I did) and some may not like him at all.

Confessions of a Street Addict

This is another great "American" story. Becoming successful like Jim Cramer does not come easy. He had rough times but he learned and battled with himself and with the world and made it big. He exposes the simple principle of being a little smarter with our money.

B-B-B-B-B-Booyaaah!!!!!!!

Awesome book and great read, just could NOT put it down! I'm a newbie to investing and this book gave me the added cofinidance to start getting my hands dirty and make something of the floundering portfolios that I already have. No more brokers to "tell" me how to invest MY moola! No way SKIIDADDY!!! Brokers beware, you're not getting your mits on my hard earned cash anymore, THE CRAMENATOR is 'da man!! Can't wait to get the other 2 books (which BTW were the last in stock at Amazon - hahahhahaha!) either, time to start raking it in! My wife has an early retirement planned for herself and I will not disappoint!

Captivating

This is excellent reading, I found it very hard to put down once I started reading it. It is both very entertaining and is very practical as far as giving a real candid look at the life of a successful stock broker.

Changed My Perspective

Now I understand some the antics and actions taken by Cramer.
I have a better understanding of him and have changed my opinion of him from an attention craving maniac to a gifted person with the ability to help me achieve my investment goals.
