After telling the story of his own trading days in Confessions of aStreet Addict, Cramer appeases fans hoping for advice on how toduplicate his success with their own investment portfolios. But notwithout some strong caveats: his approach requires devoting at least anhour a week to educating yourself about each stock you own. But sincemost pros are 'rank amateurs themselves,' anyone willing to do the workshould consider getting in. Cramer breaks down the fundamentals of hisinvestment approach, built on the twin principles of diversificationand speculation: while most of your portfolio should contain reliableslike oil, financials and blue-chip companies, 20% percent of your moneyshould go toward a slightly riskier bet on a company's future ('owninga stock is a bet on the future, not the past'). He also explainstechniques for figuring out when to buy rock bottom stocks and sell theones that have hit their peaks. Cramer drills his main points over andover, which can get repetitive on the anecdotal level but reinforcesthe simplicity of his message: investing is for anybody willing to putthe time into learning how to do it right. His enthusiasm should proveinspiring, and even investors on the wrong side of Wall Street's recentshakeups may find the courage to get back in the game. Either way,Cramer's radio, TV and print platforms are sure to make this oneanother hit.
