Hey, I'm Kramer.

Hey, I'm Kramer.

Welcome to Mab Money.

Welcome to Kramerica.

I'm just trying to make you a little money.

Now, my job is not just to entertain, but to teach you.

And that's what we're doing tonight.

So call me at 1-800-743 CNBC or tweet me at Jim Kramer. Yes, tonight I'm letting

you in on something big. The method to my magic. I believe that you can do everything I do

at home if you're willing to put in the time and effort. Investing, specifically investing in individual

stocks, running your own portfolio rather than dumping your money in some buy

and forget index fund, is something I am confident all of you can do by yourselves.

I always emphasize the homework, and I hope you do the homework from my charitable trust stocks

if you join the CMEC Investing Club.

In the old days, my rule was that you need one hour per week per stock.

These days, though, the research is so readily available online that I'm willing to count this

less than an hour a week for 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 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 of big stocks, then you are better off parking your money

in a low-cost index fund that mirrors the SB 500. And I like those. They're good. I'm in some.
