Customer Reviews

A wealth of information on mutual funds.

As a seasoned investor, I have read countless books on this subject matter. However, I found this particular book to be very well written and extremely difficult to put down. Especially, during those times when I learned something new. This is a great book on mutual funds and belongs in every serious long-term investor's library.

She points way to profits in bad times as well as in good .

What most of us need is a guide for all seasons...and this seems to be it! It really isn't true that anyone can make it in a strong up market. Just look at the majority of mutual funds that lag the S & P right now! And what then can we expect when the market turns down? It always has and it likely always will. Stacie Zoe Berg makes mutual fund investing understandable to those of us who haven't the time to become experts. She leads us on the frenzied ascent to market tops...But, she also leads us through the frightening market wilderness on the downside. There's always risk, but for those of us who stay the course sensibly, Stacie Berg's formula should be just what we've been looking for.And, Mr. Publisher, Stacie Berg wrote the book...She didn't just edit it. You need to get that right, also.

A complex subject made understandable

Hats off to Stacie Zoe Berg for making a sometimes confusing and incomprehensible subject not only understandable but enjoyable as well!!

This was an excellent source of information.

I knew very little about investing in mutual funds prior to reading this book, but now feel comfortable giving it a try. What a great book!

Best Mutual Fund Book I Have Read!!

This was a remarkable book. I couldn't put it down and read it from cover to cover. There was so much information contained in the book. I already new some information about mutual funds, but this book taught me a whole lot more that will really be useful in helping me make money with my money. It is a must have book for any financial library.
