MUST HAVE... MUST READ... for any Investor,
By Gordon (Kennesaw Ga) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Investing Bible (Paperback)
This book covers EVERYTHING. In DETAIL. The hardest part about investing is that if you have little to no experience, you have no idea what questions to ask or what to legitimately expect. And when it's YOUR MONEY on the line it's best to know what to expect and to be prepared. This book is what every investor needs. It provides authoritative, comprehensive, and detailed information on how to invest successfully. It has no radical or wreckless financial strategies. This book covers everything. It covers; how to evaluate the professionals and their advice, to investing effeciently with regards to taxes, to family financial planning, to evaluating a stock, bond, annuity, or mutual fund on your own. The only gap in this book is that it does not cover nor touch on real estate investing. But, I am sure the author refrained from that topic as it is not where her expertise and experience lays. But EVERYTHING ELSE was covered thoroughly to the level every investor should demand.

Excellent book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Investing Bible (Paperback)
This is another excellent book from Lynn O'Shaughnessy, who has a talent for writing about personal finance in a way that anybody can understand. The Investing Bible is going to save me a ton of money. I was surprised to realize how much I was spending on yearly mutual fund expenses after reading Chapter 8. O'Shaughnessy observes that we all know how much we paid for our car and our house, but how many of us actually check to see how much we spend each year on the administration costs of our mutual funds? After I did, I decided to switch to low-cost funds, like index funds, as the author recommends. I'll probably save tens of thousands of dollars. That's only one tip among the hundreds I found in this 570-page book that makes it worth the price.

Wonderful resource,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Investing Bible (Paperback)
This big book has earned a permanent spot on my bookshelf. It covers the investing basics, but it also provides lots of material for those who have already mastered the nuts and bolts. For instance, the Investing Bible, in its lengthy section on stock investing, explained how I can analyze an individual stock by using easy to understand steps. I was also pleasantly surprised to stumble across a chapter that includes the latest ways to save for college. This book is truly a keeper.
