5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for novice investors like myself...., January 21, 2000
By 
Nu2Investing (East Coast, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sage Guide to Mutual Funds: Superior Investment Wisdom from the #1 Online Fund Gurus (Hardcover)
this is a great book! I really wanted to learn investing. I think that before investing any money, I should understand where my money is going and be able to make informed decisions. But every time I try to get into this, whether i try to read a book, talk in a chat room or post on a message board, it goes right over my head (I sometimes feel like everyone is speaking a language that's foreign to me! ). I don't consider myself dumb but much of the information I find just doesn't make sense. Worse, there is just so much information out there, where do you go? What's good, what's not so good? How do you know which is which? If you can relate to any of these feelings, then want you to know that this is a book for YOU too. The Sage Guide to Mutual Funds is the first investment book that I've found written in easy to read chapters that everyone will understand. They cover everything from getting started to picking a winning portfolio. They explain the information overload in a single book comprised of simple to read language that I feel is refreshing to the novice investor. I give this book an A++. I'm off to find their web site on AOL, if the book is any indication of what they are offering, then I need to go there!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sage Guide - An Effective System for Fund Investing, January 15, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Sage Guide to Mutual Funds: Superior Investment Wisdom from the #1 Online Fund Gurus (Hardcover)
I found the book to be a valuable source of information on the world of mutual fund investing. It assumes very little on your level of knowledge going in but still keeps a good pace. Provides good information on how to structure your investment portfolio, how to discern good funds from bad ones, how to use online tools to get the information you need. I liked the anecdotal information provided throughout the book from the Sage website because it helped keep the subject matter attached to real world experiences of other investors. I have personally used what I learned from the book to structure my portfolio. Researching the funds and making the decisions was still hard work but I wouldn't have wanted to do it without the book.

Jennifer (Denver, Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sage Guide to Mutual Funds: Superior Investment Wisdom from the #1 Online Fund Gurus (Hardcover)
I've recently read several books on investing, as I'm a new investor. The Sage Guide to Mutual Funds is the most user-friendly one I've encountered. The talk was clear, and I actually understood all of it! I've had a hard time getting people to help me in layman's terms. This book did that and more for me.
