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.

Jim Cramers Is Wonderful September 3, 2010 Florida Happy Gardener (Florida) Another great Jim Cramer book. He does a great job helping non-Wall Street pros understand what's going on and help us take care of our investments.
Worth the read for Cramericans! August 2, 2010 B. K. Whittaker (Kensington, MD United States) As a regular viewer of Mad Money, I found the book to be useful although sometimes repetetive from the show. However, the additional detail, and the chapters on options trading make this book very worthwhile to own. If you are going to make the most from watching Mad Money, I recommend reading this and Real Money as primers.

I Don't Know How To Feel July 14, 2010 C. Oliver (Worcester, MASSACHUSETTS United States) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Since I usually find myself buying puts on the stocks that Jim Cramer reccomends and have occassionally made large sums on it (Inuitive Surgical anyone, the I in his CANDIES made me 20,000 thousand dollars when it collapsed from 350 to 308 dollars, and I had puts for 330) I can't really reccomend his show. But, nonetheless, doing your homework, studying the stocks, and giving Jim Cramer a listen can be interesting and helpful. His books were the first thing I read because he was the only personality I knew about that had to do with the stock market, and I learned a lot of stuff.
This book has a lot of good information that can probably help you get back to even and even start to get ahead, but I don't feel the book completely stands alone, I feel that without having read Watch T.V and Get Rich, Stay Mad, and Real Money, I wouldn't have gotten as much out of the book as I did, and wouldn't have felt so good about it. That is why I don't know how to feel about this book.
I'm not sure if it stands on its own. Reading through many of the reviews, I wonder how many people have gone through all of his other books. But that's really my only concern.
This book is full of information, including some picks to look at. The information he gives you is solid, including a good strategy of buying deep in the money calls. Options are the often overlooked strategy of the investor, but can be a great aide for the individual to speculate with a little money, or to hedge a bet against volatility.
Jim Cramer brings all his usual energy into this book and comes up with a streatgy that can realistically help you get back to even and get ahead in this new environment of chaotic confusion. This book is a refreshing, realistic calm--Cramer Calm--approach that can help people start organizing their portfolios and start getting back what they lost.
Because of that, I reccomend the book wholeheartedly, especially for people who are already familiar with Jim Cramer's books.
Good book May 16, 2010 J. Evans (Tulsa) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I learned a lot of information that I will use. I wish he had used more charts but he explained things in a very understandable way.
I bought it mainly for the 2 options chapters. That alone was worth the price of the book.
