Thestreet.com Guide to Smart Investing in the Internet Era: Everything You Need to Know to Outsmart Wall Street and Select Winning Stocks

Dave Kansas. Broadway Business, $24.95 (352pp) ISBN 978-0-385-50094-4

Introduced by James Cramer, controversial founder of TheStreet.com, this comprehensive and sophisticated guide shows readers how to navigate today's turbulent financial markets. Catering to a broad range of experience, the book covers such topics as stock selection and buying and selling decisions, with particularly strong advice on diversifying one's portfolio. The extensive chapter on tech stocks overshadows the other material on options and IPOs, which seem rushed. Still, given Cramer's TV visibilty and the built-in audience at his Web site, this solid investment book should do well at stores and online. (Jan.)
