Product Description
In his new book, Cramer offers the most detailed guidance he has ever given on how to invest in a changed market. Savvy investors will not just survive; they will thrive. Cramer begins with six rules for protecting the money you have and making sure that you have the money you need. (Rule Number 3: Skip the first four stages of portfolio grief: denial, anger, bargaining, and depression.) Your portfolio won't fix itself; you have to do that. It's easy to close your eyes and pretend that it all never happened, but you'll never get back to even that way, much less profit from the opportunities that this new market offers to investors who know where to put their money. One key to making investment decisions is to watch what the mutual-fund managers are doing and -- better yet -- to anticipate their moves. Cramer tells you how to do this. Their decisions will move markets, and you want to profit from these moves.Cramer explains why dividends may be another key to picking winners in the post-crash stock market, and he introduces a category he calls the accidental high yielders -- stocks whose prices have taken a beating, boosting their yields. Some of these stocks could make a major move upward; Cramer tells you how to spot the ones that could take off. For the first time in any of his books, Cramer offers a portfolio of twelve stocks that he says are poised to profit from the economic recovery. And he gives investors a list of five regional banks that could make big moves and return a handsome reward to shareholders. As always, Cramer explains why investors can't just take his word but have to "buy and homework" on these stocks to make sure that their stories don't change. If you're near or in retirement, your opportunities to recover and profit are more limited than those of younger investors. Cramer tells you why stocks should still be an important part of your investment portfolio. And for younger investors, Cramer explains why you must take advantage of what could be a rare opportunity to buy stocks at fabulous prices and set up a terrific portfolio. Cramer offers advanced tips for investors who have the time and are willing to invest it to profit from the post-crash stock market. Call options may seem like exotic and dangerous investment tools, but Cramer shows why they can be a conservative investing strategy that can bring quick returns in a recovering market. He explains how to use IPOs and secondary offerings wisely to juice your investment portfolio. And as if all that weren't enough, Cramer has come up with twenty-five new rules for the post-crash market. (Rule Number 4: It pays to follow the dumb money.) Getting Back to Even is indispensable for any investor still reeling in shock from the 2008-2009 market collapse and wondering where to go from here. From investment strategies to specific stock recommendations, it's the foundation for the portfolios that will soar when the economic recovery takes hold.

Excellent book for anyone interested in basic stock investing February 14, 2010
Rich Duisenberg
While I have a hard time watching Mad Money on TV with all those "Booyahs" and noisemakers, Jim Cramer's writing style is very calm, clear and generally to the point. In Getting Back to Even, he gives a good overview of the market yesterday and today, followed by several strategies for getting ahead in a turbulent market. Truly a worthwhile read for beginners like myself, and maybe even for some hold hands.
Very good! February 5, 2010

This is a good book. It's a bit of a repeat of his show, but with more detail. I recommend reading this book, but be sure to read others on more technical detail on how to invest in the stock market. All in all, it's helpful.
 Cramer always has an angle January 12, 2010

In this book again, i catch myself reading and not trusting the author. Years ago I learned that the best way to invest is to read people that do it for living, this is why i always recommend the writings of Linda Raschke and Toby Crabel, both real traders and practicing hedge fund managers -now out of print but maybe if you check on ebay you may find them. Anyways, another read from Cramer, that suffers from the same thing as his show: integrity.

Jim Cramer's "Getting Back To Even" can give you the keys to a money making machine. I have read other of his books and they all are worth many times the purchase price. Cramer's been there and done it, so he tells you what really works in an easy to understand way. He "gives back" so much. The Street. com is his comprehensive web site and he is on CNBC every trading day.
