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.
