About the MMM

MMM Logo

Hi, I’m Paul Douglas Boyer and I’ll be bringing you this blog and a podcast that discusses fun investment topics and sometimes reviews the Mad Money recommendations of Jim Cramer. Also, each podcast will have money-making idea segments like Learning Earning (brought to you by Index Funds Advisors ), Guru Roulette, and Tools in the Crib. I’ll also answer questions you may have regarding your investments and try to give you some more details behind Cramer’s advice. Send your questions to me at feedback AT MadMoneyMachine.com and I’ll try to answer them on the podcast or in the blog.

Guru Roulette : I’ve replaced the numbers on a roulette wheel with the names of investment gurus and pundits such as Warren Buffet, Peter Lynch, and even Jim Cramer himself. When their name comes up, I’ll give you a little background on their investment philosophy.

Tools in the Crib : Each show I’ll give you a tool from the toolcrib to help you make money. Websites, books, TV shows… they’re all in there.

Bio: I’m Paul Douglas Boyer and I have an MSEE from The Johns Hopkins University. I have been an avid investor in the stock market for over 20 years. I worked for a Fortune 500 company for 18 years. My schedule is devoted to investing, portfolio management, and now to this website and podcast. Instead of enrolling as an MBA, CPA, or CFP and getting that fancy piece of paper, I have applied an engineer’s approach to doing my investment homework all these years. My goal with the podcast and this website is to bring more people up to a higher level of understanding of how they should be allocating the money in their investments, with the ultimate goal of reaching Financial Freedom. I also have a goal of getting people more knowledgable about investments at a younger age… so they can take advantage of the power of compounded returns!

Remember : It takes money to make money and it takes stock to make a Mad Money Machine!

Listener from England from the MMM Survey:

Your podcast is excellent. I have listened to lots of different podcasts but rarely stay with a podcast for long. Your and the other 2 I mentioned (Joel Osteen and the Santa Barbara Theatre of the Air) are the only ones I have gone back to the beginning and listened to all the shows. I really appreciate the time you spend on this. It must be a great deal of time so a BIG THANKS.

David emails:

Just discovered your podcast and really like it.  You do a really excellent job. You are also the first person who’s made sense with investing advice–hedging your risks with index funds.  I mean, it seems like so much work, and so much risk, to try to pick individual stocks.

Fernando from Mountain View, CA emails:

I subscribed to your podcast in late March, just after getting an iPod Touch and aiming to subscribe to "Mad Money", "Cramer" and "Business" related podcasts.
Fortunately it took me only a couple of shows of yours to realize what I had been yearning for!  You had it all so well communicated! I have been so entertained and informed by your podcast that I am actively marketing your website to my friends and co-workers.
Many of us are active investors and I do not think anyone of us is getting far with our stock picking and timing pretenses. I have filled out both your survey and that of IFA.  Even one of their representatives, Brad von Grote, contacted me and we chatted for a long time.  He indeed recognized you and of course liked you very much.
I have been so addicted to your shows that I have even downloaded all the MP3’s that I could from your website except a few of them that are unreachable as such.  I heard those directly from the website but I wonder if without much effort you could enable your future fans to get those missing MP3’s?   :-)

Richard from New York emails:

Love the podcast! You converted me from an active investor to a passive one, and boy am i so happy about it these days. i was barely keeping up before, but now i know i am actually doing better than most investors… mostly.

Tom from Oxford Ohio emails:

Congratulations on reaching such an impressive milestone — 100 podcasts of the Mad Money Machine! Your shows have been a delight to listen to; professionally produced and very informative.
But even more important, I want to thank you for helping to clarify the path to successful investing. That is the real achievement of the Mad Money Machine.  You have helped educate investors in their all important quest to obtain financial independence.  In the process, you have given me the motivation to read and analyze much of the significant academic research on investing.   As a result, I have completely revised my approach from that of a trader trying to find the next great stock, to that of long-term investor with a portfolio suited to my risk capacity.
You are providing a very important service for those willing to listen.  For that I am deeply grateful.
