This is one of the best books I have read on personal finance and investing.

For a long time I was a staunch critic of Cramer as I perceived many of his ideas to be reckless and dangerous. Having read his book I've done a complete 180. Not only did I enjoy the book, I watch his show on CNBC almost every day now. His insights are not earth shattering. Rather I would describe them as Advanced Common Sense. His book and show have helped me to identify why some of the stocks that I've invested in the past did not perform as I expected them to. Although he shamelessly plugs his book and TV show, I genuinely believe that Cramer's primary motivation is to educate people and help them succeed in investing. He owns his mistakes which is rare in this day and age. I've yet to read an analyst report that said "My bad, we blew it when we recommended BUY on this stock".

The book is well laid out and the information is simple and easy to understand. Cramer describes almost everything by relevant analogies that I think most everyone can relate to. The book is all about empowering its readers as opposed to offering a get rich quick scheme. My only criticism of this book is his abundant use of SAT words that I had to constantly look up in the dictionary.

Did you know Jim Cramer ran a hedge fund? If you didn’t trust me by the end of this book it may be the only fact you do know. I haven’t started applying any of his information yet so I can’t speak to that. The information itself seems good and honestly offered.

Booyah to Jim Cramer for writing this book. I’m a new listener to Mad Money and a 1-year investor in the market, so I’m still trying to figure out the reason people say Booyah to him, but I’ll swim with the tide.

I’m still a rookie investor so this book was a lot of help, especially in explaining the small details and key elements of the market. He offered great advice and I’m already starting to implement (rate your stocks from 1-4, as per the book!)

I love Mad Money and I’m so glad Cramer decided to narrate this audiobook himself. I’m excited to continue learning from The Professor.

This book is a classic example of why you should always do your homework. For my short investment career, I've been led to believe that Cramer was a buffoon. I know now that that is extremely false.

Jim takes you from the shallows to the deep end

Jim has passed on his knowledge on what to look for and what to look out for. Some sections go deep and I would read this book again in the near future to try and understand the details.

Excellent book on Cramer's trading strategy.
It requires some prior knowledge: vocabulary
and basic trading experience.

Cramer touches briefly on options and short selling
mostly this book is about how to diversify, spot "tops"
spot "bottoms" in markets and how to do your
homework on specific stocks.

Great chapter on speculation and managing
growth potential vs risk

It was surprisingly interesting. Very informative.

It offered a lot of practical advice about investing. It's the first book I read of his. I will probably buy more of his books eventually, but there are other books I need to read first.

I've been investing for years now, occasionally active on my own but mostly passively through a fiduciary. Lately I've gotten more interested in being active again so decided to give this a read. Wow, you really don't know what you don't know until you do some digging. This book covers several aspects of investing I hadn't considered seriously before. Not that I would do a lot of them, I'm not into a lot of the risky stuff, but it is good to know it is out there and how it might impact your own investing. Definitely a worthwhile read, one that I will re-read again after I get through a few other books clogging my "to read" shelf. Four stars.

I stumbled across Jim Cramer's "Real Money" while flipping through books at my local Barnes & Noble, trying to find some book to help me figure out investing. At the time, I had no idea who Jim Cramer was nor ever saw his show. Of all the books on the shelf, this one was the easiest to read and explained topics which were complex to me at the time in a way that was very clear and concise. I can easily attribute much of my understanding of some of the more advanced areas of the stock market to this book, which I found excellent in laying out the confusing world of Wall Street to the everyday investor.

I love Jim Cramer and I need to get back into investing as a hobby. This was my refresher course. I remember some things from watching Cramer’s TV show religiously. I have two copies of this book in my house, so I can check those as references when I start playing the market.

If there is one criticism of the book, it does get a little dry at points. But, the advice is sound and the book is entertaining overall. We will see how my investing goes once I start in earnest.
