Review

"Thorough guidelines about private gold ownership; Kosares has all the answers." -- Money World Magazine, July '97

Now for the first time under one cover, novice investors will find thorough guidelines for making good decisions about private gold ownership. In The ABCs Of Gold Investing, gold investment expert Michael J.

The ABCs Of Gold Investing covers a range of topics, from understanding gold's role in combatting inflation and deflation to how to select a gold firm. Kosares also examines reasons why gold has become an essential in many American portfolio and why that trend is likely to continue, The ABCs Of Gold Investing is further enhanced for the novice investor with photos, illustrations, index, bibliography, and an appendix. Highly recommended. -- Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars Great primer for those interested in gold as an investment, September 15, 2002
By

This review is from: The ABC's of Gold Investing: Protecting Your Wealth Through Private Gold Ownership (Paperback)
Michael has written an excellent book for people who want to understand gold, its importance as an investment vehicle and how to invest. The book does a good job at convincing you so dont get carried away and start buying gold. Like any other investment gold has its pros and cons. Do more research and reading before you spend your hard earned money. Look at some websites like kitco and gold-eagle.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, September 30, 2003
By 
Vahania63 (Michigan United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The ABC's of Gold Investing: Protecting Your Wealth Through Private Gold Ownership (Paperback)
I expected much more information and details about gold investment. The basic idea that author annoyingly repeats throughout whole book is the gold is good for investing and all other kind of investment are bad

3.0 out of 5 stars Only Holds Merit for Serious Gold Investors, October 28, 2000
This review is from: The ABC's of Gold Investing: Protecting Your Wealth Through Private Gold Ownership (Paperback)
I would recommend this book to investors who know beforehand the pros and cons of gold investments and still wish to proceed. The information in the book is interesting and would be helpful to future "goldbugs" but I felt that the book was overly biased. In my opinion, the book overemphasized to good points of gold investments. While an excellent hedge, gold is in reality a poor and very conservative investment choice and deserves only a small portfolio allocation. In addition to this book, I would definitely recommend additional research.
