Terrible editor... book is full of typos/grammatical errors.

Other than that, not a bad read. I'm about half way through.

God Bless

Not a bad book by any means. I remember Cramer did do a good job explaining what to look for on the balance sheets of stocks on the radar. Only criticism is that you can't just go out there and buy stocks with low PEG's. If the PEG is low, it's usually low for a reason.

Cramer is what's called a Fundamental Investor. Technical analysis beyond 52 week high/low isn't a factor for him in his stock picking. He looks solely at the numbers.

I like Cramer. I like the fact that he's never going to be neutral on a stock or even worse, neutral on the market. He's easy to bash but I'll admit, he's taught me a thing or two. I'm looking forward to reading his newest book.

Though I think Jim Cramer is very smart, he bounces in and out of stocks too quickly and incurs short term capital gains. I'd rather invest for long term and take some dividends with it.
