Mutual Funds for Dummies Paperback – April 25, 2016

In my opinion, this is not a book for dummies. This is a book for ordinary people, like me, who want to know the basics on mutual funds and other similar investments. One thing I liked about this book is that it hits the sweet spot: it’s not too simplistic or too complicated which can make other investment books useless. Another good thing about this book is that it provides a list of funds which have low fees, good management, and match specific investment objectives. On top of all that, this book is not painfully boing; I actually enjoyed reading it which says a lot for an investment book. So, in short, you are not a dummy if you read this book; reading this book is without a doubt a smart thing to do before you invest a cent, or another cent, in a mutual fund or ETF unless you are already a mutual fund expert.

I was surprised - this was a really good overview. It covers bond, stock, hybrid, sector and REIT funds and the author provides specific recommendations. The author also gives practical advice on deciphering fund documentation, fund expenses and taxes.With a 2016 copyright, it needs to be updated soon, but that's the nature of the subject.

I paid next to nothing for invaluable information to study. You can't beat the realness of the writer's verbiage and the way it's worded for pretty much anyone to grasp the concept.

With the plunge of NYSE in January 2018, I figured it might be a good idea to delve into some knowledge of Investments..But first I want to thank Amazon. They shipped with an unbelievable speed and b4 I knew it this book was at my front door as if it appeared spontaneously..Ok...now heres the review.This book was referred to me by an investment manager....I have scanned the book and can see where it will give me what I need to achieve my future investment goals. Im giving it 5 🌟s..I feel its energy.

Good reading material.

Its good book for beginners some good tips and I learned a few things. Not much different from his 5th edition which I read a couple of years ago. I enjoy all of his books.

I'm no dummy, but I got halfway thru this and was not able to jump right into the mutual fund investments I'd planned on going into. It's 8th grade level, but unfortunately I'm currently at a 6th grade level, sooo yeah.

Lots of good ideas but spends a lot of time SELLING mutual funds. Needs to state the facts and let the reader make up their mind what they want to do with their money, not sell the product. He also spend more than ample time slam dunking going to a regular broker and assumes everyone is dumb or incompetent to buy/sell stock on their own.Generally explains what and how mutual funds work. Does a good job,
