The Best Investment Advice I Ever Received: Priceless Wisdom from Warren Buffett, Jim Cramer, Suze Orman, Steve Forbes, and Dozens of Other Top Financial Experts
$12.99
This particular book is a pretty good read. It contains a lot of information from a wide breath of seasoned and well known investors. However, there is nothing really detailed in depth. This book is a good read and somewhat insightful but if you are looking for a detailed book it would be best to look elsewhere.

Jim Cramer got to where he is not by his own genius, but by other forces at work. I have little respect for the man yelling at the TV making picks that do no better than throwing a dart at a board. But, this book tells how he got to where he is at. And if you notice he almost never mentions the book. It does not show him in the best of light and if not for 1 woman, he would be still drinking scotch on the dirty linoleum floor.

Jim Cramer's Real Money: Sane Investing in an Insane World
$16.00
I'm a viewer of Jim's Mad Money show. Jim's Real Money book is a great adjunct to the show as it explains the detailed insights every good investor needs so as to manage their own portfolio.

Jim's book provides examples outlining the discipline and steps needed to arrive at buy or sell decisions for individual stocks. Now, I have a professional understanding of having a well-reasoned "thesis," when I buy and sell stocks.

Jim devotes an entire chapter to creating your own "Discretionary Portfolio." Then he tells you how to trade this group of stocks to your best advantage, buying and selling according to market conditions. Jim calls this "trading around a core position."

I'm always trying to build a better portfolio. Last year I researched "core position" trading and found that it was not a new concept, but a method pioneered by Robert Lichello in his Book, How to make a Million in the Stock Market. In his book Lichello outlines his "AIM" method of buying low and selling high. It's basically a risk management model to be applied to your portfolio.

The fact that Jim preaches core position trading reinforces my confidence in Jim. I believe "core position trading," it to be a good way to control your portfolio risk and maximize your returns in a controlled method.

I appreciate and admire Jim Cramer's show and book. Jim has helped me to become a better investor. I'm now a believer of "buy and homework!"
