2.0 out of 5 stars
Nice Christmas (1998) Gift,
By Peter D (Franklin, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The International Encyclopedia of Mutual Funds, Closed-End Funds, and REITS, (Hardcover)
The major part of this book is made up of two page wide, single line entries for each fund. Entries consist of the usual stats available for free on-line. It would be worth the price to have this information neatly bound in a book - if the data was current, but it isn't. November 1998 mutual fund data is not much use in November 2001 (will this bull market ever end?). No fault of the authors - but not a good buy now.
