Black America's Financial Elite Tell You How the Money Machine Works-and How to Increase Your Personal Wealth

"Investment books tend to be as dry as the Sahara at high noon, but Money Talks is a stellar exception. Fairley has compiled a book full of practical tips . . . a guided tour through the labyrinth of finance with some of the most savvy money people in America. The chance to take that journey is well worth the price of admission."-Ellis Cose, author, The Rage of a Privileged Class and Color-Blind

"All Americans will cherish this literary work which captures the thoughts and deeds of Black America's financial elite. These men and women are playing a major role in reshaping the economic fabric of America. They are pioneers; they are trailblazers; but more importantly, they are Financial Freedom Fighters."-Kelvin Boston, author, Smart Money Moves for African Americans and publisher, Moneywise Magazine

"In her distillation of these successful individuals' approaches to wealth-building, Fairley creates models by which the reader can learn to adjust his or her attitude about investing. Each person's story reiterates basic approaches to saving and allocating money, always in the context of individual achievement."-Alvin D. Hall, author, Getting Started in Stocks

"In Money Talks, Juliette Fairley achieves a rare combination: she tells the inspiring stories of financial experts, coupled with sound advice on managing money and building wealth. This book is not only for African Americans, it's an understandable, jargon-free guide for everyone."-Jane Tillman Irving, broadcast journalist

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good introduction to investing and finance, August 25, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Money Talks: Black Finance Experts Talk to You About Money (Hardcover)
Many personal finance and investing books fail to be effective by trying to speak to too broad an audience. Fairley accomplishes her mission of providing a straight talk introduction to an audience of African Americans (or anyone else for that matter) that has the means but not the fundamentals to manage their finances. Fairley steps out of the way and allows seasoned professionals give advice in their own words about the areas of finance that they know best in a way that is not overbearingo or intimidating. A must have for those just getting out of the blocks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Barrier Breaking Keys To Financial Success Are Now Available, August 26, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Money Talks: Black Finance Experts Talk to You About Money (Hardcover)
Fairley has created a sensible and powerful guide to getting ahead that will long stand as a guide to not only reaching, but also explaining the path to financial success. The insider information provided is not only powerful, but also profitable and a true must read for all African American Entreprenuers. The shared insight from America's most accomplished investors bring all who read this book into one of the most private fraternities.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid base for any African American learning finance., August 9, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Money Talks: Black Finance Experts Talk to You About Money (Hardcover)
This book is a solid base for any person of color looking to have a basic understanding of finance and the stock market (basic investing). In her attempt to spread light on investing in the market, Fairley manages to inspire dreams to entreprenuership to those wanting more than investing in the market. From Frank Savage to Ariel Capital Management, this piece stands tall as an instrument for basic understanding in investing for the long term and simultaneously manages to inspire wanting to own your own business. I highly recommend this piece to those who have no background in finance and wish to expand their current viewpoints on making money.
