5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every dime, March 18, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Net Worth : Creating and Maximizing Wealth With the Internet (Paperback)

This book/CD combo knows no bounds when it comes to utilizing the Internet for investing. Its scope covers just about every facet of personal finance imaginable. After an intro, chapters 2 through 7 are deovted to a range of investment topics -- stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and riskier instruments such as IPOs, futures and derivatives. Four additional chapters cover insurance (from life to disability, property and liability). Three chapters are devoted to debt (including personal debt, mortgage debt and credit card debt). And other chapters discuss education and car financing, home buying, retirement and estate planning, banking, and taxes. Each chapter begins with an in-depth explanation of the topic at hand and conlcudes with a detailed cyber-tour of related Web and Internet resources. The accompanying CD is packed with useful financial software along with a fully-searchable electronic edition of the entire book. This is the very best book/CD on the market addressing personal financing and investment strategies which leverage the Internet. --- Calvin Groves

This review is from: Net Worth : Creating and Maximizing Wealth With the Internet (Paperback)

Some valueable resource on Internet offered. New angels to value Internet. But the statement on generic principal on stock/fund/bond market is too simple.
