Bestselling author Jim Cramer shows investors how to use the information and advice in his top-rated CNBC show to make money in the stock market.

"Investing well isn't easy, but it is possible. My goal in life is to make it easier for you to make money."

Jim Cramer is the champion of the middle-class investor. Every night on Mad Money, he provides valuable information about stocks, steering investors away from danger zones and leading them to the investments that can turn a lackluster portfolio into a powerhouse of profit. In his new book, he shows investors how to take the advice on his TV program and put it into action.

Cramer walks investors through the key decisions they have to make: 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. This is a true nuts-and-bolts guide to investing, from Cramer's detailed discussion of the sort of homework investors must do to his own guidelines for knowing when and how to sell stocks.

Mad Money is a hugely entertaining television program, but it also offers valuable information that can be the basis for a winning portfolio. Cramer 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. He explains what to look for in his CEO and CFO interviews, and how to use those conversations to make successful investment decisions. He reviews some of his best calls made on Mad Money, as well as some of his worst ones, to extract ten lessons from each that can profit every investor. And for the Mad Money junkies who just can't get enough, Cramer goes behind the scenes to explain everything from the reason behind his deliberate mispronunciations to his notorious chair abuse to the zany props and buttons that keep things humming.

From the first "Booyah" to the last roar of the bull, Mad Money is every investor's favorite television program, and Jim Cramer's Mad Money is the book that can turn a TV program into a top-notch stock portfolio.

This book is good but light. It's 200 pages, but half of that is fluff. It is meant as a companion to the TV show, and that is where its weaknesses lie. There is a chapter that describes the sound effects Cramer uses and a chapter explaining how to simulate Cramer's "lightning round" by yourself... The 100 pages of actual content are good though, especially to someone clueless like me.

Another great investment book by Jim Cramer. This book contains a plethora of information regarding the stock market but is not so in depth as to confound the reader. If you are looking to learn how to invest in the stock market I would absolutely recommend this book as well as Cramer's "Real Money" and "Stay Mad for Life" books.

There's some real good information in here as long as you can get over the fact of Cramer saying how great he is in every other sentence.

You still gotta do your own homework. People watch his show and think they can just follow his picks. Doesn’t work that way for ANY kind of trading & investing…. So I’ve learned.

This book basically reviews things learned in his first book Real Money: Sane Investing in an Insane World. I suggest reading the first book and skipping this unless you're one of those people falling for the 'Cramer effect.'

I can't really say I read the whole book, but I read enough to get an idea of it. He prefaces this book by saying that investing in the stock market on an individual stock basis (not mutual funds), is only for those who have a solid financial base and at least $10,000 to "play" with. Since this doesn't apply to me nor to any of those I want to help with finances, I decided to just skim the book and not give it a thorough reading. It was sort of a review of the micro-econ class I had in college.

Jim Cramer is a national treasure, not that I agree with all his recommendations. Unfortunately, some people may be turned off by the props, the speed of delivery and hyperkinetic energy. Those who try to learn from Cramer will be richly rewarded. He fills a very important need: demystifying the voodoo aspects of the market. He offers several frameworks like fundamental, technical and comparable analysis, plus disciplined approaches like diversification, to enable people to get a better handle over their investments. This book is the manual to better understand the show.
