Jim Cramer's Getting Back to Even

Personal finance expert, bestselling author, and host of CNBC’s Mad Money Jim Cramer offers specific advice about how to overcome your fear of the markets and recover your investments in an economic crisis.

You don’t even look at your 401(k) statements any longer. When mail comes from your broker or your mutual fund, you throw it in a drawer unopened. You know how bad things are and you’re just waiting for them to improve before you start thinking about your money again. But how long will that take? How many opportunities will you miss while you hide your head in the sand? Shouldn’t you be doing something? Jim Cramer says that there are positive steps you can take to start the financial healing process. You can start to get back to even, then go from there. Cramer explains how to make the best of the bad situation you're in, and how not to succumb to fear and panic. He tells you what steps to take depending on your age and your financial goals. Getting Back to Even will include advice on refinancing a mortgage, recovering from job loss or downsizing, and making a new financial plan. It includes twenty new rules for investing that fit the current economic climate. Jim Cramer believes that the stock market is still the best long-term investment anyone can make. He offers guidance on which stocks to select—or how to find a reliable and successful mutual-fund manager—and how to spot the economic recovery when it happens. Whether you’re twenty-five and investing to build wealth or sixty-five and hoping to restore your retirement savings, you’ll need the advice Jim Cramer offers in Getting Back to Even.
