My brother has his MBA, pasted his Series 7 and is currently working in “finical planning” field. He knew that I was trying to make the best out of my savings and investments (IRA, money market, etc) so he bought me this book for my birthday this year. I have just completed this book and I have to say I am very impressed. “For Dummies…” books are usually pretty solid with regards to content and information, this book isn’t an exception.
Eric Tyson is the author of this book and he provides very pragmatic insight on the world of investing. Tyson uses his professional experience, as well as explaining the complex world that is “investing your dollar under the U.S.A.”! The fifth edition was published at the end of last year (2008), when economy in America really became crucial in the public opinion. Many people lost thousands (like me) and millions of dollars. Not to mention that the economy became a big “selling point” for the 2008 Presidential election.
This book also touches on buying/selling real estate, buying/selling a business, investing in stocks, bond, mutual funds, taxes and many other topics. Another thing that Tyson provides is “what not to do” with money and/or investments. Many times a non-example is more powerful than a basic example. Tyson also has the ability to keep the information grounded and cuts through a lot of the jargon, with sliding in bits of humor here and there.
I would recommend this book to anyone who cares about money and perhaps making more of it (who doesn’t want more money?). I had several finical funds before I read this book (and still do), but after reading this book I have a better understanding how and when I will use the money I am saving/investing.
Know nothing about investing? Start here.

I didn’t think reading about money/investing could ever be this fun or interesting. Straight talk and clear definitions for all the finance jargon.
