Cramer's Mad Money Daily Recap 10/4/05

We have done our best to record the calls for you, but remember that the show is fast moving, and
sometimes Cramer bangs on the sell! sell! sell!, bull roar, train wreck, suicide jump, hallelujah
chorus, backing up truck, machine gun, fanfare, all aboard, applause, cash register, bear growl,
bowling pins, and submarine diving alarm buttons all at once, while he is screaming.

Please do your own research, and verify all information before acting on it. This summary of
Cramer's picks is not intended to replace watching the show, where many of the comments about the
stocks offer advice about entry and exit points.

Cramer's Stock School

Cramer's Mad Money today was a special show about rules for investing and trading successfully.
Below are some of the points Cramer talked about.

- hold between 5 and 10 stocks and do one hour a week of "homework," or research

- listen to conference calls or read the transcripts of those calls

- research the company you are interested in by looking at their filings at http://www.sec.gov

- don't trade unless you know your entry price, exit price, catalyst and time frame

- stay diversified - don't hold more than 20% in any single sector

- don't let a trade turn into an investment

- when you make a little money with a stock, sell some of it. Eventually, you will be playing with
the "house's money."

- admit to yourself when you are wrong, cut your losses and get out of the trade

- read analyst reports about the companies you are watching

- learn exactly how the company you are trading or investing in actually makes money so that when
conditions change in that sector you will know how your holding will be affected
