Información sobre este eBook

Finance expert, bestselling author, and host of CNBC’s Mad Money Jim Cramer takes readers on a wild Wall Street ride—revealing how to play the game, who breaks the rules, and who gets hurt.

Everyone on Wall Street knows Jim Cramer, and Cramer knows Wall Street better than anyone. Candid and outrageous, Confessions of a Street Addict takes readers on the wild ride that is Wall Street.

Cramer details his life, from the middle-class Philadelphia suburbs to Harvard, where he began managing money, and then to Goldman Sachs. He brilliantly describes the life of a money manager: the frenetic pace, the constant pressure to outperform the market and other fund managers, and the sharklike attacks fund managers make as they circle a fund perceived to be in trouble.

Throughout the book Cramer is characteristically outspoken, offering his hard-won insights about the market and everyone in it, himself included. There has never been a more eloquent market insider than Cramer, nor a more high-octane book about Wall Street.
