Additional Confessions of a Street Addict Information
|
James J. Cramer, co-founder of TheStreet.com takes listeners on a no-holds-barred tour of Wall street -- revealing how the game is played, who breaks the rules, and who gets hurt. Everyone on Wall Street knows Jim Cramer, and Cramer knows wall Street better than anyone. For fifteen years he ran Cramer Berkowitz, one of the Street's most successful hedge funds, with a compounded annual return of 24 percent after all fees. He takes us from his fascination with the stock moarket as a middle-class kid in the Philadelphia suburbs to Harvard, where he began manging money. He brilliantly describes the life of a money manager -- the frenetic pace, the constant pressure to outperform the market, and the shark-like attacks fund managers make as they circle a fund perceived to be in touble. With the rise of the Internet, he co-founded TheStreet.com, the online financial Web site. Cramer takes us inside the IPO of TheStreet.com, where he found himself a knowledgeable but helpless onlooker as his own Web site came on the market at an unrealistically high price that it never reached again, a harbinger of the dot-com disasters that would soon haunt the stock market. Throughout the audiobook Cramer is characteristically outspoken, outrageous, and candid about everyone, himself included. There has never been a high-wired, high-octane book about Wall Street like this one.

What Customers Say About Confessions of a Street Addict:

You certainly walk away with a better appreciation of Jim as a man, a celebrity, and a Wall Street veteran. His insights into the background of the hedge fund industry, the actual workings of Wall Street, the idiocy of the dot coms and the very candid assessments of his own successes and failures make this book a page turner and extremely entertaining. A great read. A truly amazing read. Jim Cramer brings all of his emotion, intensity and intelligence to bear in this autobiographical review of his life up to 2002.
There is one thing that I wished he would have written about though and that is where the rage comes from, to me he just seems to blow up way out of proportion, but after thinking about it for a while I came to the conclusion that I do that myself from time to time. That however doesnt happen here. I know where some of it comes in my life, I would like to know where it comes from in Cramers life. I never really cared for the stockmarket, but after watching Cramer on the Colbert Report and watching the youtube clip of when he looses it on live tv, I felt that I wanted to know more about this person. A lot of times I feel that books tend to have very long intros or childhood stories as fillers before you get to the meat of the story.
Excellent. I will make this short and sweet.If you liked the Movie Wall Street.You will LOVE this book. Excellent inside account of the Workings of Wall street.not many see. I always find addictive personalities fascinating and Jim Does not disappoint.
Great book about Jim Cramer's life as a young author to being one of the most powerful wallstreet traders.
This is an up close and personal look at one of America's favorite money men. From his days working as a reporter, to his time at Harvard Law School, on to Goldman Sachs, and eventually his own hedge fund. I highly recommend this book. This is a great book. I've watched Jim Cramer on television, but never knew the whole story.
