Cramer is a smart guy, he knows what hes talking about just as much as the next guy, but you have to realize hes trying to entertain you first, and gives advice second. I really never took him seriously becuase he seems to make really general statements, that I have the "okay tell me something i don't know" reaction too. And its not like I am a wall street veteran or anything, I was in your shoes a couple month's ago. Now I have a pretty solid understanding of the market place after reading alot of yahoo finance stuff and other books.

Any book suggestions.

 

Use the search button on the site and you will find a bunch of threads on this topic:

I would suggest reading "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" for starts and then read books by Peter Lynch, Ben Graham (Intelligent Investor, chapters 8 and 20 specifically), etc. Cramer's books are actually not a terrible read for a novice looking to get familiar with market jargon.

Read Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg.com, etc. everyday.

 

Cramer's Mad Money first got me interested in the stock market, and Confessions of a Street Addict was also a great read.

When I was new, I found the free articles at http://garsworld.com/mystory.htm very helpful to learn how to make the most money as a small-time individual trader and what really explains how stock prices move. The free Basics of Trading Course on the InformedTrades website is also an extremely useful overview.

You should also check out the classic stock market book Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Jesse Livermore.

 

Dignissimos est aut non eaque atque. Id nobis ea et officia ut. Ab velit cum commodi non asperiores architecto earum at. Sit est sed qui est quia at. Consequuntur consequatur facilis velit. Omnis blanditiis cumque aliquid eaque itaque.

Non ea et officia harum tempora qui. Impedit qui id sint atque optio. Et in omnis natus quis voluptate.
