PRAISE FOR AN EARLIER EDITION: "...full of the right nuts and bolts." San Diego Union "...explains principals and concepts of mutual funds in an understandable way for the laymen." another San Diego Union write-up. "...provides a good overview of the field." Money Maker "...worthwhile." San Diego Transcript "...quite readable and useful..." Physician's Assets "...informative." Ideas for Better Living from the Preface: "Can stockbrokers consistently pick stocks that probably will make money for their clients? Do they, in short, have that flair, that genius...? Unfortunately, most don't. Just as there are only a few excellent doctors and lawyers, so are there only a few superior stockbrokers. The rest, much to their clients' detriment, labor, at best, with mediocre results." again from the Preface: "This guide isn't a get-rich-quick plan...So if you must know how to turn $1,000 into a million dollars, I can't help you. No honest person can." once more from the Preface: "You might understand the value of long term investing of ten years or more to accumulate wealth." from Chapter 3: "Of notable interest: In 2002, during one of the worst bear markets in American history,...lost just 8.12%. This was its first losing year since the 1987 Crash." from Chapter 4: "Here I confess an undying bias: in my opinion market timing is hogwash. I've never done it. I never will." |
