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!

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.

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.

I'm a newbie to investing. I knew nothing.. but this book is easy to understand, down to earth guiding on what is what in investing. Makes a person feel good to be able to understand something better and not feel so dumb. Thank you!

The Sage book was the most educational, interesting, user-friendly, helpful, and technically informative mutual-fund book I've read and I've read a lot of them. I have incorporated the strategies and insights into my mutual-fund portfolio and the results have been good. The data was well-presented--not too technical, but technical enough. Thank you, Cohn brothers for a job well-done.

This is a must read! I found it to be the best book on mutual funds out there. It really takes all of the confusion out of funds and makes for a great Internet companion

this should have been given away for free considering it just promotes the authors' company. Additionally, there are much better references out there--this just provides very little value for the price.
