• “Putting some money in an index fund isn’t bad advice — it’s a good way to play it safe,” Cramer said.
• “But most people can’t afford to purely play it safe unless they’re already rich, which is why you have to put the other half of your holdings in a mix of individual stocks that you choose and a non-stock hedge,” he continued.

‘Mad Money’ host Jim Cramer shares the origin story behind his book ‘How to Make Money in Any Market’.

• How to balance your portfolio between growth stock and dividend stock (currently 65% growth/value and 35% dividend) –> you can switch to 50%/50%
• Option strategies to protect multi-year upside gains –> I like to keep it simple
• Investing around a cost basis (proper balance between building a new position while respecting our cost basis on a profitable and fundamentally sound stock headed higher)> –> Take a  look at your portfolio. You have to say this one;s come to fruition, there’s no that much more, and I’d like to put a new one on. Don’t put a new one on until you sell another
• Company’s earnings miss, and what to make of the stock reaction
• Best way to avoid riding a long term investment all the way up, and them all the way down? –> Look what  wed to in the club when we have a parabolic move. When we have a stock that is well above our basis, we trim. That gives us the flexibility to be able to buy back. I call it trading around a position
• Should you high growth stocks be in an IRA or a taxable account? –> I keep them in the IRA. I want you to keep investing for the long term, and don’t feel like when you get to 60 or something, it’s time to cash out, we don’t like that.
• Growth stock vs Dividend stocks –> It depends, but as we get older, I do want to have more income coming in, and that’s something you consider.

 

Other Topics Discussed (calls with audience)/ この日の放送で取り上げられたその他の話題（視聴者からの電話):

• How should a younger investor create their portfolio to maximize short & long-term growth? –> Not interested in the short term trading. I think you should go with the highest growth stocks and just one speculative stock
• Should investors own an ETF or diversify with stocks? –> I am not against index fund. I would like to have mixture of both ETF and stocks.
• Should investors use stop loss and stop-limit orders? –> I am reluctant to use stop orders because sometimes what happens is you just blow right through your levels and end up with the worst price of the day you’re at the mercy of  the market. I like to do set limit orders
• Is the 529 plan a good option to save for college? –> I like any plan that gives you any tax benefit
• What constitutes “Mad Money” fund for a portfolio vs. funds for the long-term? –> I have a list of stocks in how to make money in any market, which is a switch from companies that are growth companies and companies that have some growth with very nice yield, and that’s what you have to switch with.
