Rating: Summary: Excellent soup to nuts investing book Review: This book covers all the bases and provided lots of great insights and ideas. I actually read Eric Tyson's Mutual Fund for Dummies first which I also thought was excellent.Covers traditional investments as well as real estate and small business.

Rating: Summary: A great objective book for math-phobic new investors Review: This book is a great find for our new investment club. Many members are math-
phobic, all are tired after a long day of work. The down-to-earth advice, objectivity (not a
particular firm or product to push) and gentle
humor are a welcome addition to our educational efforts. Jeanne B., Financial Partner, Heritage Investment

Rating: Summary: Not for dummies Review: This book is definitely not for the uninitiated. I was expecting the book to "spell out" how stock/bond markets work eg. what happens when a bond matures or what does the author mean by the "value" of a bond. Although a useful supplement, it probably should not be the first book you read on investing.
Rating: Summary: Good investment book by Tyson Review: This book is especially good for beginners. I bought this for my son and daughter-in-law along with Millionaire Next Door.Tyson covers all the bases and writes in an easy to understand and enjoyable manner. Even if you are not new to investing, you will learn a thing or two.Also recommend Millionaire Next Door and Rich Dad, Poor Dad.
Rating: Summary: Beginner information in PLAIN ENGLISH!!!! Review: This book is great for beginners (like myself) who are very confused about investing and all the jargon that goes with it. You don't just read this book once, you keep in on your desk and check back every time you are thinking of putting your money in a new investment. This book will never become outdated, well worth the money!!!!
