*The New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller* "Look to this book for guiding principles rather than specific stock tips ... Forget about getting rich quick: The new investment climate, writes
Mad Money host Cramer, is "treacherous...bizarre stock movements have become the staple, if not the hallmark, of this era." Cramer, formerly known for his exuberant approach ... has since taken a visibly more deliberate approach to the matter. This new book reflects his caution ... Cramer's long list of dos and don'ts (Relative valuations don't justify a purchase"; "Stop falling in love with your stocks") is worth the price of the book."--
Kirkus "In highly accessible language, Cramer explains how the stock market is influenced by economic data, Fed policy, world events, the actions of hedge funds, and the trend toward sector funds even when the underlying fundamentals of a stock remain stable. Drawing on his long experience, both mistakes and successes, Cramer demystifies the stock market and offers sound investing advice and an insightful overview of the market for cautious investors."
