| 0:00.0 | My mission is simple, to make you money. I'm here to level the playing field for all investors. |
| 0:08.1 | There's always a little market somewhere, and I promise to help you find it. MabMoney starts now. |
| 0:17.0 | Hey, I'm Kramer. Welcome to MabMoney. Welcome to Kramerica. I'm just trying to make |
| 0:22.6 | you a little money. Now, my job is not just to entertain, but to teach you, and that's what we're |
| 0:27.3 | doing tonight. So call me at 1-800-743 CNBC or tweet me at Jim Kramer. Yes, tonight I'm letting |
| 0:33.3 | you in on something big. The method to my magic. I believe that you can do everything I do at home that you're |
| 0:40.8 | willing to put in the time and effort. Investing, specifically investing |
| 0:44.0 | in individual stocks, running your own portfolio rather than |
| 0:47.3 | dumping your money in some buy it and forget index fund, is something I am |
| 0:51.1 | confident all of you can do by yourselves. I always emphasize the homework, |
| 0:55.9 | and I hope you do the homework for my charitable trust stocks if you join the CMEC investing club. |
| 1:01.4 | In the old days, my rule was that you need one hour per week per stock. These days, though, |
| 1:05.1 | the research is so readily available online that I'm willing to count less than an hour a week for |
| 1:09.1 | portfolio of five stocks, say a few hours if you own 10 stocks unless you belong to the club itself and you have a much easier time and you cut down how much well, homework you have to do because we do it with you. Investing is in more than just 10 stocks, and then I get worried because that can be difficult unless you're managing money full time. Of course, if you don't have the time or the inclination to big stocks, |
| 1:29.7 | then you are better off parking your money in a low-cost index fund that mirrors the SB 500. |
| 1:34.0 | And I like those. They're good. I'm in some. |
| 1:36.4 | But if you're willing to put in the work, regular people can trounce the averages as long as your discipline. |
| 1:41.1 | And you follow the rules. Rules we constantly highlight as part of the |
| 1:45.7 | C&BC investing club. How do you start? Well, that's what we're talking about tonight. Like I said, |
| 1:50.6 | the show is all about the method or methods to break from strictly quoting the bard to my madness. |
| 1:56.3 | How do I pick stocks? What gets on the show? How do I tell you some stocks are worth buying in a dip and some aren't? Those are the questions that people constantly ask me. Tonight, you're going to get a piece of the answers. The truth is that I've got far too many methods, far too many ways of picking out great stocks to ever cover all in one show. But I want to give you some of the tools of my trade, enough so that you can start to pick stocks like me on your own. Remember, I want you to be a manager, a great manager of your own money, |
| 2:22.9 | because you can focus on a smaller number of names, well, I have to follow practically everything, |
