Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
With mutual funds attracting many billions of dollars per month, the small investor's need for guidance to the almost 8000 funds available is clear. Rowland, a 20-year financial journalist, has condensed and simplified the advice she originally gave in her Fidelity Guide to Mutual Funds (S. & S., 1990). She explains what a mutual fund is, how it works, and why it is the best vehicle for the average investor for wealth building. The heart of her work is a section of 58 dos and don'ts. Clear language and practical, concise advice predominate: what to ask, what to look for, whom to call, how to keep track. She also recommends specific funds to readers depending on their personal risk profile as developed from an extended "risk quiz." Rowland's guide should demystify stock market and mutual fund investing for the neophyte. Recommended for public libraries.
