This book
really works on your psychology, helping you to invest in a businesslike
way and tune out the distracting mood swings of "Mr. Market." This
serene attitude has elevated Graham to Zen master status among serious
investors; Warren Buffett, his most famous protege, calls this "the best
book about investing ever written."
This handy
fact-filled book initiates you into the mysteries of the financial pages
-- buying stocks, bonds, mutual funds, futures and options, spotting
trends and evaluating companies. For those who are curious but
intimidated by everyday financial jargon, this guide offers a literate,
forthright and lively alternative using pictures and drawings . Despite
its physical appearance, the book makes an excellent effort at
explaining the stock markets, world currencies, bonds, futures &
options, and much more.
The book
provides a wealth of practical financial answers in a very sound,
straightforward, honest, and easy-to-understand language. The core
emphasis of the book is to help you create a strong, debt-free
foundation to amassing assets and protecting them in periods of economic
downturn; from buying a home to providing for loved ones; from investing
with confidence and navigating the markets in good times and bad to
securing reliable income for our later years. Sue shows how to calculate
the mortgage payment you can best afford, determine what Medicare will
pay toward nursing care, decide between retirement plan options, and
similar matters of personal importance.
The creator
of low cost index funds Bogle shows why you can't find a managed fund
that will beat its index, and that fund fees hurt performance a lot more
than you think. He begins with primer-like essays on investment
strategy, championing mutual funds for their inherent investment value,
and then grinding each point home with a bevy of graphs, charts,
entertaining anecdotes, and common sense.
The author
introduces a number of investment approaches, including Fundamental
Analysis and Modern Portfolio Theory, describes them carefully... and
then uses statistical data to tear them to shreds. The overall focus is
on warning you away from strategies that don't work. He also offers some
positive results (chiefly that stocks indicated as undervalued by
traditional ratios tend to outperform the market) and some useful
advice. If a little constructive negativity doesn't depress you, this is
a helpful survey.
This book is

analysis of what is unique about REITs and cuts to the chase on how to
make money with them while avoiding common pitfalls.

This is a
very good book on how to start investing in real estate. He gives an
objective look at investing by pointing out some of the difficulties and

One of my favorite quote is
"if you think education is
expensive, try ignorance"
by
Dr. Dolf De Roos. It is especially true when it comes to
financial education. It doesn't cost much to buy a book or even go to
your local library and rent it for free. With investing, what you don't
know WILL hurt you financially. Below are several great books I
HIGHLY recommend you read to further your education on investing.
Spend less than you earn! People who spend every penny
they make usually end up going broke.......
Take enough risk on the money you save! Playing safe by
putting your money under the mattress or in a savings account
will not make you wealthy..
Remember that.....Fully one-fifth of humanity, some 1.3 billion people,
struggles to survive on less than $1 per day. About 40% of
humanity survives on less than $2 per day. More than a billion
people around the world will go to bed hungry tonight. Life
expectancy in some 32 countries is less than 40 years. If you
have a few extra dollars in your pocket (you don't have to be a
millionaire to make a difference), please share some of your
financial good fortune with others who are in great need.
Think About It... Being in the 'now' brings a freedom, unlike living
in the past or in the future, which is a kind of imprisonment.
This isn't a kind of a denial where you pretend life doesn't have
problems. Life is full of problems, but most of those stresses
and failures are reliving old hurts or worrying about future
concerns. -- Carl Honore
When you 're diagnosed with cancer, you start to
bargain with God: "Let me get through this, and I'll take better
care of myself. I'll get my priorities in order. I'll learn to
live every day to the fullest." Isn't it sad that you have to get
sick before giving yourself permission to live life to the
fullest? -- Robert Schimmel
