I am most impressed with the overall content of this book. It provides the basics and reminds us why we should invest during this somewhat "nervous" time, and presents the options to do so in a straightforward, factual way. I appreciate the historical overview, but also this book is relevant since it's newly published and thus reflects lessons learned from 2000/2001 investment experiences. Experienced investors will find this a little too simple, beginners will struggle a bit, but for the majority of us who know just enough to be dangerous, the information and viewpoints are helpful. We purchased this book for our community library; I then bought a personal copy so I could highlight and mark up pages for future reference as I put my own financial plan together.

This is a relly good book for the beginner with little knowledge about invesments. However, I would not let this book be my night in shining armor (or princess actually). The book does not go into enough detail to thouroughly explain the most common types of investment options or how they work but it does provide a good general overview.

I saw this book in my library and decided to pick it up because the book is quite recent. I found that the book was easier to read. Not too complex and it talked about the bursting of the bubble, etc. I liked the section on evaulating stocks and the on analysts. I think it is a good read. Highly recommend.
