I bought this book because of my confusion with index funds after reading different advertisements from newspapers and websites. The result of my learnings are three limit orders I just placed for different sector funds.

This book is written objectively without a slant towards a specific product. Also, written for the inexperienced as well as the professional trader. It provided some real insights as to how trading is accomplished (in plain English).

The bing "WOW" was seeing how I was being penalized as long term investor in mutual funds because of the annual tax distribution. Also, the majority of funds do not beat the S&P500 index!! Why invest in them when these new investment resources are available?

Highly recommend this book to all levels of investors.

I found this book to be of great value as I have been an investor in the stock market for years but am always looking for better strategies to enhance my portfolio. Index strategies are relatively new and I am glad someone has finally written something about them. This book offers an overview and educates you on how to participate in global markets fluctuations. It provides the definitions of various indexes and their relationships to the underlying markets they represent. I will utilize this book as my dictionary and reference guide when I see a trend in an area I want to invest in, but don't want to buy an individual stock because of the risk involved with owning just one stock of a sector. Indexes offer a "mutual fund" type investment and are as easy to buy as a normal stock. This book offers me a good guide and explanation of the different indexes available.

This book introduced me to an area unknown to me as an individual investor-EXCHANGED TRADED FUNDS (ETF). It was very informative and exciting. I read it and then underlined it,immediately. Max, since I read your book,the world has exploded about i shares. Thank you for the introduction and stimulation to look further. YOU SHOULD BE PROUD.

This is a great book with lots of helpful information about stocks indices and which one to invest in. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to participate in the domestic and international markets.

The book introduced me to exchange shares. I bought it a few day ago.I read it with out putting it down. I have re-read and underlined it. This is a very exciting addition to the concept of "index investing". Exchange traded funds (ETF) are a part of my retirement education. Orthopedic Surgeon, Emeritus
