Outstanding Source of Information May 8, 2008
You could pay a salesman at a full-service broker huge commissions, pay a CFA like a hundred to two hundred dollars an hour, or get this great book. It's not the end of the game, you need to also research ETFs, smaller cap stocks, and other investment opportunities, however it's a great start. The price of this resource is very modest compared to its value.
A lot of people dismiss books like this by believing that they can get this information on the internet at sites like Yahoo Finance. That's true, but the concise nature of this book makes for great convenience. Also, it's a lot easier to curl up in bed with than a computer. Often, you could find me fast asleep with this delicious book in my arms. I love it. Better than a spouse because it remains quiet and actually helps you. Nighty, night my sweet book, nighty night.
