DISQUS

Thanks for the link man. Always watch Jim Cramer with a sense of humor about you, how else can you enjoy it :P

I agree with you on this. I see that most of the advice is good for beginners to acquire. I do not see the benefits of the last 2 "great ways" but that's just opinion only!

Great work on your blog. You don't know how much it has changed my perspective on my views on the market and actually on how I trade!

Thanks and keep it up!

Blain,

I really enjoyed your post and felt it would be useful to readers. I must confess that even I - also - watch Mr. Cramer from time to time some evenings when I get a free moment. He is rather entertaining. :) It's just that some of my friends used to call me after the show and ask what I thought about a particular idea they received from Cramer, which usually didn't fit into my system or style of trading. It caused a lot of heated debates, to be sure! I just worry about newer or inexperienced traders watching his show and then opening an account and losing a great deal of money. I mean, his most recent book after all was entitled "Watch TV, Make Money." It's just not that simple.

Thanks as well for summarizing the points on your site and of course for visiting and commenting!

Charlie,

I'm with you 100%! I'm not knocking the website, because I'm sure it's a wonderful service - that's not my intention. I'm just trying to highlight or emphasize the largest ideas. And as for Jim Cramer, he's definitely a controversial figure! He is an extraordinarily intelligent man, but I'm just not at ease with such a public figure who tries to make investing and trading seem so easy when it's not. I agree with Blain that he is entertaining and we need to keep humor in our trading as much as possible, but I just know people take what Cramer says to heart and rush out the next morning and invest on the stocks he touted, and that's just not the best way to invest (by relying on another individual).

But it does provide some classic entertainment and turns people on to investing when they otherwise might see what we do as "boring, stuffy" or whatever they believe.

Thanks!

Well made points, I could have highlighted the "entertainment" value of Mad Money more, if anything it is a good change up from the reading and straight seriousness. I still #10 is solid though and my personal favorite, but then again I am biased ;)
