网友对Jim Cramer's Get Rich Carefully的评论
Most people seem to either love or hate Jim Cramer. I'm actually sort of in the middle, he does have some good ideas and insights mixed in with a lot of bombast (see Mad Money). I've been investing and doing a lot of reading in this area since the 1970's, and, for me anyway, I discovered that if I came away with just one or two new ideas after reading a book it was well worth the time it took to read it. The trick is to take away what you can use in your personal investing approach and ignore everything else. No one, not Jim Cramer, not anyone else, has all the answers. This book actually touches several different areas when it comes to investing. Most of it is more of how to think about investing, and how to approach it, which is actually a good thing. And there is something here for almost everyone, hence the need to pick and choose, because if you try to incorporate all the ideas in this book you will be a buy-and-hold fundamental investing technical chartist, while taking into account who the CEO is. A tall order, to say the least. So if this is your actual first book on investing, might not be the best choice to start with. For someone who has already established an investing style, there is a lot of good stuff in here, at least for more traditional investors like myself. There is a whole section about charting stock patterns, which I didn't even bother with, because for me, using past performance charting to predict future stock moves is akin to reading chicken entrails. But hey, Cramer is a millionaire and I'm not, so who knows?
There is actually quite a bit in this book that was helpful to me, in fact a lot more than I had initially anticipated: his explanation on how a stock price can move for no apparent reason; how index funds, futures, and ETF's have had unintended consequences; the chapters "Seven Major Themes Built To Last" and "CEO's: The Bankable 21". There is also a very helpful segment called Hidden Metrics where he discusses several different sectors and then gives a best-in-breed recommendation for each sector. Lots of good ideas for further consideration and research right there. There's even more good stuff, but I'll stop here. I probably took away much more from this book than the vast majority of investing books that I have read, and believe me, I've read plenty. In fact, after further review and consideration, I decided to bump my initial star rating from a four to a five. I would recommend that you try this book whether or not you like Jim Cramer.
I bought this because I saw an interview with Cramer where he talked about the tests he applies for finding good growth stocks. This is thoroughly discussed, and very much worth reading.
This is a good book about what you need to know in order to invest, and where to find it that information. The book is loaded with information and insight throughout It's definitely worth your time even if you have read umpteen other investment books, as I have. A good summary at the end of every chapter. Cramer writes well and clearly.
I downgraded it one star because there were individual recommendations throughout the book. While this would be helpful to someone carefully studying to find out why they are best of breed and why their competition is inferior, I couldn't help thinking some people would see the discussion as a buy recommendation. All of these may be great companies in their sector, but some of these sectors get hammered pretty hard from time to time. Do not take his remarks as buy now statements.
Ch 1, on what makes a stock move will get you started thinking about the right things and looking for the right information. The way ETFs can overwhelm individual stocks was worth learning. The importance of choosing a strong sector. How bonds and stocks are related. The effect of interest rates, and the Fed. Growth rate as the most important fundamental influence. Secular growth vs cyclical.
Ch 2, what is good information from a stock owners point of view and what is not. Where to look for the information you need. What particuar metrics are important for different sectors-- eg same store sales for retail. High growth stocks, what to look for. Why to go for Best of Breed instead of third and fourth tier stocks.
Ch 3 on the 7 Major lasting themes, CH 4 on finding value in companies breaking apart, were two I had problems with. Cramer's comments and themes are valid, but exactly how to and whether you can make money investing in stocks in these themes TODAY is a lot harder. It seemed to me there's a time-value on the recommended stocks, and some of it may already be out of date. There's a lot to learn from these two chapters, but by the time you read the book, the information about individual companies and industries may have been superceded by events.
Very much worth readig. But study hard independently before investing in any stocks mentioned.
UPDATE 2 years later, 2/20/16: Definitely worth the re-read. Came away a little wiser, and hopefully better prepared for today's market. Ch 7,8 & 9 seemed especially worthwhile this time. Ch 7 is on mistakes he made in his own investing. Funny I've made the very same ones. In fact I'd bet we've all made these kinds of mistakes. Really useful to recap these step by step, hopefully to avoid them in the future. Ch 9 when to sell. Really useful chapter on selling too early and selling too late. Again, we've all left big profits on the table by selling too soon, and watched our profits disappear by holding on too long. Again step by step living thru some of these may help make these less likely.
Cramer's investment style is not my own, but you don't have to agree with his particular style of investing to benefit from this book. This is a great book for both novices and non-novices. Good enough I have market it for another go thru in a few months.
I really like this book. I am a new investor and was interested in reading books about investing. It is a little hard to read in the beginning because of the terminology but once you start reading it is hard to put down. The book has excellent facts about how stocks work and what happens to stocks. I always liked Jim Cramer and would watch his show mad money and I knew he was the go to guy for investing purposes. I would recommend this book to anyone that watch that soft cushion in finance and are looking to grow their money faster than a savings account. I was tired of the 1% that banks give you and wanted a higher return.
"Get Rich Carefully" is an excellently thought out work. Mr. Cramer knows what he is talking about and wants you to understand what is at the fundamental core. In that respect, he begins Chapter 1 with an detailed revelation of what moves the market - something that a lot of novices do not know. With that springboard, the die is set that what is most vitally important is not the latest hot tip on a stock, but focusing on ourselves to maintain discipline. That is most critical take-away. That investing and trading has a lot more to do with psychology than the latest sector trend. One cannot panic, cannot expect to get rich overnight, cannot succeed with patience, and Mr. Cramer drives home those points through the book. That in order to have some measure of building wealth, you have to become better at managing risk and that equates to minimizing it. Mr. Cramer relates that you cannot time the market, outsmart the market, nor predict the market. Many believe they can and end up dashed on the rocks. The market unlike the casino, is rigged in your favor. Mr. Cramer increases our odds of winning and that is all that we can ask for. I highly recommend this book.
