Camp tailors financial advice specifically to the medical profession with a regular column that appears in Physician's Money Digest and Dentist's Money Digest. He is also the author of MONEY: 127 Answers To Your Most Asked Financial Questions (1995). He now answers 338 new questions in this compilation of queries sent to him by readers of his columns and by those who have heard or seen him on the financial talk-show circuit. His simple, straightforward question and answer format is arranged into 10 categories: evaluating investments, economic influences, understanding stocks and bonds, planning for retirement, IRA's, reducing taxes, paying for college, estate planning, insurance and home ownership and personal and family matters. Included are interviews with eight leading financial experts, such as Harry Dent and Jeremy Siegel. Although much of the advice targets doctors who have medical practices, there are also plenty of tips for anyone concerned about his or her financial health.-

This is an example of a well-targeted book: the 750,000 doctors in the United States. It is a book doctors will identify with. But much of the advice, tips and insight will benefit anyone who wishes to build wealth.

The chapters cover evaluating investments, economic influences, understanding stocks and bonds, planning for retirement, IRAs, reducing taxes, paying for college, estate planning, insurance/home ownership, and personal/family matters. The book is an interview with answers to 338 financial questions categorized into chapters. The busy physician will find the book easy to read between patients, as most questions/answers are less than a page long.

This same author published "Money Matters Made Easy" some years ago, and it did more than most financial books do, it gave both the beginner and the oldtime investor an overview of how to plan, execute, and follow through with investment ideas, through questions and answers. Now this new book adressed to doctors, in the same format, but also just as revelant to the average person, covers many more subjects,and has excellent interviews with 2 of the most astute and knowledgeable persons in the financial field. This book is a must for very household.
