MorningStar stock research

This is how they describe their business:-

We evaluate stocks for what they truly are–pieces of a business. Instead of prognosticating short-term price movements or momentum, our analysts focus on determining the value of a business, its risks, and whether the stock price accurately reflects both the value and risk.

Simply put, we look for superior businesses that trade at discounts to their fair values. The market, of course, doesn’t always agree with us, so sometimes our recommendations are out of step with consensus thinking. But we believe this approach is the most sensible way to create wealth over the long term.

Mad Money is a CNBC Financial TV Show hosted by Jim Cramer. The show first aired on March 14th 2005 and it has been a hit ever since.

Cramer does a good job of making the show very educational, while at the same time being entertaining.

According to CNBC’s Web site in an article titled, “Mad Money Manifesto” by Jim Cramer, the show’s mission statement and Cramer’s job

“…is not to tell you what to think, but to teach you how to think about the market like a pro. This show is not about picking stocks. It’s not about giving you tips that will make you money overnight – tips are for waiters. Our mission is educational, to teach you how to analyze stocks and the market through the prism of events.”

Am I Diversified is a particularly helpful segment which helps individuals diversify their investment portfolio to help ensure better risk protection in the future.

Cramer brings a lot of energy to the show, but he also certainly knows what he is talking about.

Be careful not to just buy and sell every pick of his, but try to learn from this show in any way that you can.
