Book Description

Jim Cramer, bestselling author and host of CNBC’s Mad Money, has written the ultimate guide to lifetime investing for readers of any age.

Whether you’re a recent college grad trying to figure out how to start investing, a young parent struggling to decide where and how to put away money, or someone well into middle age and worried about whether you’ve saved enough for retirement, Jim Cramer’s Stay Mad for Life has the answers. Cramer covers all the essentials: how to save, where to invest, which pitfalls to avoid. He offers valuable advice on everything from mortgages to college tuition. He explains what professional money managers do right that amateur investors do wrong. Because there is always a bull market somewhere, Cramer tells readers where to find the bull markets of the future, and for those willing to do the homework, he chooses twenty stocks that could be long-term moneymakers. For those who don’t have the time or the temperament to invest in stocks, he identifies the mutual funds that are proven winners. He’s investigated these funds by using his own twenty-five years’ experience managing money for himself and dozens of America’s wealthiest families. Throughout, in addition to his own enormously successful experience, Cramer draws on rigorous research to back up his advice.

Jim Cramer is America’s #1 financial guru. Every day he advises investors on how to get ahead of the markets and stay ahead on his daily television show, Mad Money; in his online columns and commentary at TheStreet.com; in his popular “Bottom Line” column in New York magazine, and on television programs from early morning to late night. His books have all been national bestsellers and have helped educate hundreds of thousands of investors about the perils and promises of the financial markets. USA Today called him “the media’s most electrifying market pundit”; and his legions of fans agree. Jim Cramer’s Stay Mad for Life is the definitive money book, a practical, concrete, insightful book of invaluable financial advice that is a joy to read.

 Customer Reviews

You will also learn Cramer’s twenty new rules for investing. These rules are great for investors and traders. My favorite two are:
1. Don’t let the market shake you out of a good long-term thesis.
2. Don’t quit when you get back to even.
You will learn the ten things pros do but amateurs get wrong.
1. Pros always have cash.
2. Pros don’t worry about the quarterly report.
3. Pros try not to invest in things they don’t know.
4. Pros recognize that everthing is not analyzable.
5. Pros want to know the downside, not the upside. (This one is excellent).
6. Pros always look, they never avert their eyes from a down turn.
7. Pros accept that not everything works at once.
8. Amateurs worry they are not making enough, pros worry they are making to much. (Which means taking on to much risk).
9. Pros do their homework.
10. Pros understand the upside, but know things can go wrong.
Cramer picks out the five bull market sectors he believes have a long term upside. Aerospace and defense, agriculture, oil and oil service, minerals and mining, and infrastructure. Learn his theories on these markets and why he sees long term earnings increases.

Customer Reviews

Short, but to the point, I think!
As the author of, The Second Virgin Birth, I have to say that this book by James Somers is very believable, with well developed-characters that make you want to know more about them. Amazing dialogue surrounds an action-packed story line that will keep you guessing the entire time. It’s an easy read, and extremely well written.

Somers’ Soone Debut! 
New author James Soone debuts his first novel in a seemingly new series that comes off reading like a mix of Star Wars vs Terminator.

Both genres of both film and novels here are quickly apparent in the prose. Well, that can be good…and also bad.

We felt that James Somers holds great potential, but overall after reading the first 1/3 of the novel, we got a feeling of lack of quality in terms of much-needed descriptions and characterization. Unfortunately, those came as run-of-the-mill.
