3.0 out of 5 stars decent information, bad writing and editing, February 8, 2003
By A Customer
The WSJ branding led to my buying this book without serious browsing. Found out later that the only saving grace of this book is that there are a number of URLs scattered through out the book, and listed at the back of the book in an Appendix. The other aspects like readibility, classification of information, ease of use, are all pretty bad. There is significant amount of information that is repeated in multiple chapters - almost as if you are reading a collection of WSJ articles accumulated over time. Chapter 2 dedicated to IPOs and Chapeter 3 dedicated to Day trading made me wonder why I bought this book... My more immediate concerns were about MFs, Bonds, and websites for sophisticated tools, preferably low-cost or share ware. MFs and bonds were covered reasonably later.

Bad editing job. I hope the authors can make a book out of these random notes (if they are contemplating a second edition). Definitely needs some good body to glue together all the URLs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wall Street Journal Guide to Money and Investments, December 28, 2005
This book will assist in deciding the proper mix and timing
of your portfolio holdings well into retirement. For instance,
people at mid-life should consider investing in tax exempt
municipals and tax deferred savings. Real Estate is an important asset which you will use while it appreciates in value. Reit
investments should be entered into with great care. Capital
gains taxes associated with sales of capital assets should be
delayed for as long as possible.

The work will assist you in crafting a personal investment
portfolio taking into account risks and rewards.
