      • “You want to get started? Go small, invest in what you know, research intensely,” Cramer said. “Back then, I got old data from the public library. Now? It’s as simple as a key stroke, and the information’s free.”

      • “If you’re trying to trade, make sure you have a catalyst, an exit point where something’s supposed to happen, and then get out of the stock even if the idea doesn’t pan out,” he said. “Because you’re trading, not investing.”

      “Bottom Line: If you’re trying to trade, make sure you have conviction.”

      (6) [No Video Clip for non-Club members] Jim Cramer and Jeff Marks answer Investing Club members’ questions (https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/03/11/jim-cramer-and-jeff-marks-answer-investing-club-members-questions.html)

      ‘Mad Money’ host Jim Cramer shares his Invest-a-Cramer Guidebook to help you at home become a better investor.

      • Keep or hold losers (dividend stock) at retirement age? –> you should always invest in growth stocks, some in dividends and some in bonds. So, you should take a risk but only for small amount. Do a homework.
      • How do you set a price target? –> It is an art of science. No standard of rule of sum to apply. Look at some historical multiples where stocks are traded at, trying to figure at how much the stocks can earn in the future and apply that. Also, consider if the company is improving its margin, if its deserves a premium vs historical level, etc.
      • When you trim a position, do you sell shares with the lowest cost basis or the highest cost basis?  –> Its’ a question of tax consideration. We try to get rid of worst basis.

       

      Other Stocks Discussed (calls with audience): 

      • How should investors approach treasury bonds & CD ladders rather than individual stock investments? –> Stay short [in treasury bonds & CD ladders] and keep investing like that, but don’t put too much money in bonds because stock has the greatest opportunities. Also, don’t forget utility stocks – they can play a role too.
      • How should investors strategize reinvesting their dividends? –> I am a huge reinvesting person. You got keep reinvesting.
      • How should those investing for their children build a long-term portfolio? –> SP500 and Vanguard Total Fund are both really good. You have to have a basket of stocks. If they are young enough, you can pick individual stocks, that could be good too.
      • How should investors find long-term holdings that can also generate short-term gains? –> That’s too risky. Earlier years I would suggest call option and long term stock mutual funds but these days I am against short term stocks. I cannot deliver and I don’t want to encourage you to trading.
