Unless we're making a killing in our careers, we all need to subsidize our income. That's why I'm always on the watch for actionable stock ideas that will boost my portfolio. Last week, I hopped on one of Jim Cramer's Members-Only calls, part of his Action Alerts PLUS, an exclusive service through which he grants subscribers unfettered access to his stock portfolio, and emails us alerts on his trades right before he makes them. On the monthly call, you can communicate directly with Cramer if you want to ask questions (about specific stocks, where the market is headed, etc.), and interact with like-minded investors trying to achieve the same goal of profiting in the market.
During the call, Cramer stated that in his 37 years on Wall Street, he's never seen a better atmosphere for trading. There's little to no inflation, and the fed is on hold realizing it needs to raise interest rates from a very low level, which means it's the best time to put money in the market. Many industries profit from higher rates-- for example, that's why Cramer is buying into financials.
The takeaway was not the stock tips themselves (though there were many specific picks mentioned), but rather, the analysis behind them—how Cramer and his research team come up with strong stock ideas. Through his years of expertise and direct connections to many of the stocks he owns, Cramer provides company-specific investment insights and a way of thinking about the market that can yield big returns for the average investor. I came away from the call confident in my investment decisions because of the unique transparency he provided on each stock he was trading for his multi-million dollar portfolio.
When you subscribe to Action Alerts PLUS,free here for 14 days with no obligations, you'll get instant access to Cramer's portfolio, and he'll email you exclusive alerts on his trades right before he makes them every trading day. The alerts are simple and straightforward: “After you receive this alert, I'm buying x shares of y and here's why." Each trade alert email links out to Cramer's post on the password-protected site, which provides you with analysis behind that specific decision.
It's something you can't find anywhere else—especially not at a money management firm, which provides little to no transparency. Cramer's service provides you with total visibility, and the tools you need to invest wisely—as an individual—without getting hit with any management fees.
During just the first few days of my 14-day trial, I'd already gained all types of investment knowledge that would not have been possible without the real-time aspect of the service. And, along the way, I've made some smart trades mirroring Cramer. The trial, which gives you instant access to his multi-million dollar portfolio, trade alerts, and access to the next Members-Only call, is a risk-free way to give the club membership a test drive. You can either follow the prices on the stocks he trades during your trial, or make some trades yourself to decide whether it's worth the added participation.
