In trying to learn more about the stock market, I am always open to learn from a variety of sources.
I listen and watch different television shows, visit various web sites and read books by different authors. My goal with Beginner Investing is to share what worked, and what didn’t work, for me. You might have different results than I did though. Something that didn’t work for me, may be a goldmine for you.
In my travels I have found many phony programs and other types of investor “clubs” that leave something to be desired. I have also found quite a few places where, after years of being involved with, I still keep coming back for more because I find the information to be honest and straight-forward. One of those places where I’ve been going to for research and knowledge is Jim Cramer from CNBC’s Mad Money. He is also the Chairman for the web site TheStreet.com, a site dedicated to the stock market and one that I visit a couple of times a day.
I first started watching him in 2005. I found his show to be more entertaining than informative, but after awhile I realized that the show was purposely geared to make stock trading entertaining.
During the first two years that I watched his show I increased my portfolio by leaps and bounds. The man knows his stuff.
FREE JIM CRAMER – 14-day trial to Action Alerts PLUS, & his latest bestseller FREE.
For over 10 years Jim Cramer was a successful hedge fund manager and now he writes for RealMoney.com. Over the years he has developed a strict set of investing disciplines that have helped all kinds of people be successful through any market.
If you asked any average investor out there between the years of 2005-2007, they would say the man is a great source of information and that they made money from his insight. In the last year though there are people out there that don’t know the intricacies of the show and say that they’ve lost money from his recommendations. If you watch the show you would know that he even says that you should not buy stocks on his recommendations until you have done the research to see if the investment is right for you. It also doesn’t help that since October 2007 the stock market has been correcting itself as well as dealing with all the deception that the financial sector had been up to.
Through it all, Jim Cramer has given me some great insight into the stock market through a service he created Action Alerts PLUS, which allows people to follow along as he makes his own trades. Managing money with an open hand is hard. But, Jim Cramer is so committed to helping people learn that he created a charitable trust portfolio to show investors how and why he makes trades.
In Action Alerts Plus, you’ll have the ability to see what Jim Cramer recommends for the trust fund and get to trade along side him. You’ll get e-mails a couple of times a day from him depending on what is going on in the markets. He doesn’t buy or sell any stock without sending you an e-mail first and he will give you his reasons for the action that he’s taken. You also get to look at his portfolio as he buys and sells stocks.
In the time that I’ve been a member of Action Alerts Plus, I’ve gotten insight to why the markets have been taking a beaten and how to avoid losing any more money in the process. In most cases, I’ve made money as the stock market corrected itself.

Mr. Cramer I have read most of your books and inside of those books you tell us to open up a 401k and a S&P 500 index, but I am a teacher I am only offered a 403b. Therefore, should I have a 403b, S&P500 index, and no less than 5 stocks in my descretionary portfolio?
One thing about crammer is he actually buys the stocks he tells people to buy. This way you know he is not trying to raise the price of the stock and sell his. Thanks i will sign up for the alerts
