Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This reasonably priced, fact-filled title was originally issued less than a year ago ( LJ 9/1/86). The new edition contains essentially the same information, but it reflects changes brought about by the passage of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and other recent events. Statistical data for 1986 are included. Public, academic, and appropriate special libraries lacking the first edition should consider purchasing this additional source of basic business information. Leonard Grundt, Nassau Community Coll. Lib., Garden Ctiy, N.Y.
Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Review

For the individual investor, it's an absolutely essential guide... -- Neil Downing, Providence Journal, August 2000 --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars An invaluable, up-to-date reference, January 10, 2000
By "jmspiegel" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This book, useful for both the novice and the more advanced investor, provides a thorough overview of almost every type of investment (including bonds, annuities, life insurance, etc.) and an comprehensive glossary of investment terms. It is handy when it comes to looking up unfamiliar terms and is an enjoyable overall read. The book also contains a listing of brokerages, banks, etc. with phone numbers and addresses. It is probably the authoritative volume on investing, which is to be expected coming from Barron's. It's definitely well worth it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Maybe the best investment guide ever written..., November 2, 1998
Do you want a book that will naswer all your questions about investing and finance? Then this is the one. Written as a guide, the first section covers over 30 different investment opportunities- from stocks,bonds and futures to real estate, collectables and mutual funds. Each investment description includes risk, tax, economic and liquidity considerations.Other sections include: How To Read A Financial Report, How To Read The Financial Pages and the Dictionary of Finance and Investment. This $25 book well may be one of the best investments a beginner ever makes.
