Summary

Jim Cramer’s new advice ain’t what your parents told you — in fact, he says your mom’s "safe" stocks are a trap.

Jim Cramer, the host of Mad Money and the "Sultan of Stocks" joins us to break down exactly how you should be investing right now.

But this isn't the yelling guy you see on TV or the "Inverse Cramer" meme you see on TikTok. This is Jim in "Teacher Mode." We got him to drop the persona and reveal how he turned a job covering the Ted Bundy murders into a Harvard Law degree and a career at Goldman Sachs.

This guy has a total TBOY vibe, he reveals his insane 3:45 AM routine, and he finally explains why "S&P 500 & Chill" shouldn't be your only strategy.

Oh, and he literally named his dog "Nvidia"... back in 2017. True story.

(plus, we pitched him our stock picks too)

But there's so much more. In this interview, Jim tells us all about:

• The "Normal Stock" Trap: Why Banks, Airlines, and Ford are actually dangerous investments (and what to buy instead).

• The 50/50 Rule: Why putting 100% of your money in index funds is a mistake for our generation.

• The "Edge": How he found Nvidia at $2.00 by listening to an Audi executive — and how you can find an edge in your daily life.
