Summary: A bright light for novice investors
Review: Thankyou Marlene! This book was JUST what I needed.. I am not a complete dummy to the world of finance, but really needed a good landscape lesson on financial investing. This book was EXCELLENT for the quasi-novice. Provided a great baseline and advice for next step learning. The tone of the book was easy reading & enjoyable.. not too financially intimidating at all. The book covered every inch of investing. Including investing in horses! Not something I would do, but great cocktail conversation. I agree with an earlier reviewer- this book is NOT just for women.

Summary: The title is misleading.
Review: The title is misleading; this book is NOT only for women. This book contains solid investment advice from someone who's "been there and done it", who has worked her way up from being a secretary to being a vice president and became a millionaire along the way. A lot of men can learn from her.

Summary: Savvy Investments for Women by Jupiter
Review: This is an excellent investment guide for beginning investors.
It teaches how to develop investment intuition and savvy.
There is a practical component in the advice which tells
the buyer/investor to beware (Caveat Emptor). The author cites
important investment vehicles; such as, the "Investor's Business
Daily" which points toward important trends in the market.
The book stresses the need to look at multiple criteria for
investing to include:
o growth stocks and industries
o capitalization
o revenue growth rates
o price/earnings ratios
o the management team
o treatment of employees
o underwriter representation
o financial analyst track recordsThe work discusses all-important mutual fund fee structures,
the benefits and pitfalls of derivatives and a whole host of
investments too numerous to list here. Numerous risks are cited including systematic market risk,
inflation, interest rate fluctuations and consumer credit.
The book is well worth the price for a beginning investor.
