I'm not a first time investor but still found this book a good refresher. Easy read with the points presented clearly and succinctly. Good for any new investor. I will be passing it on to my children as a quick guide.

Sound advice with practical steps to beat a total market portfolio approach, diversify to reduce risk, and invest for a lifetime. Paul Merrigan is one of the most underrated financial writers out there!

Nice to have many of articles from the web collected in one place.
Nothing new here, but if there was, it wouldn't be Merriman.

I wish more of the terms had been explained, but there were some interesting points. I particularly liked the section on types of mutual funds and how to diversify them.
