Talks about his past and doesn't teach you anything

Jim recommended KMI all the way down to the bottom, he did not do any home work on MLP's and still pushed hope to stay in with "wait and see". There was nothing about being careful with this falling knife.

As usual, Jim Cramer hits it out of the ballpark. During the Great Recession, I assumed everyone else on Wall Street knew more - if I trusted my money to others and was well diversified, our 401ks should not have become 201ks. That is when I started watching Mad Money and have bought all his books, along with educating myself concerning the markets. Yes, his books have changed over the years, but I believe the global economy and markets are continually changing. He provides the best insight for today's markets. Yes, when I'm doing my homework, it can be really boring. But when I think I've not only gotten back to even, but ahead, it is worth it. His book is not a get rich quick book, but If you follow his advice, your hard earned money can accrue.

50 pages in... I already feel more confident in my stocks and overall portfolio... Can't wait to find out how to navigate through all the garbage and pick other stocks to stabilize and build wealth... Will edit as I go along! Thanks. Hitting some roadblocks along the way, and I certainly don't agree with all his conclusions; but he definitely gives a new perspective on picking stocks -- with a broader understanding of both macro and micro economic factors and their effect on a stocks value and growth.
