Reviews

*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." -- Booklist "Jim is a whirlwind, a true force of nature. He embodies not only the strongest work ethic extant (something Omega Advisors' Lee Cooperman taught me is at the epicenter of investment success) but in my decades in the investment business I know of no other person that possesses the breadth of knowledge about individual stocks. He is a reservoir of information...And that is why Jim Cramer's Get Rich Carefully ... is a must-read...My advice? Run, don't walk, to read Jim Cramer's Get Rich Carefully. Booyah!"--Doug Kass, TheStreet.com "Who wouldn't want to "Get Rich Carefully," as the title of Jim Cramer's new book promises? The stock market may seem scary, but Cramer says you can make money with research, logic and prudence....Whether Cramer's advice will make you a boatload of money or not, his rational explanations make stocks seem less intimidating."--Jessica Gresko, Associated Press "Careful isn't the word that usually comes to mind when investors think of Jim Cramer...[b]ut Cramer says his show has changed, and his newest book reflects this epiphany. Cramer is now professing a different, more traditional, approach to the stock picking."--USA Today "A must-read... My advice? Run, don't walk, to read Jim Cramer's Get Rich Carefully."--Doug Kass, TheStreet.com "Inspiring ... even investors on the wrong side of Wall Street's recent shakeups may find the courage to get back in the game." --Publishers Weekly "[Cramer] is the greatest public generator of excitement and knowledge about the market today." --David Denby, The New Yorker
