Mutual Funds For Dummies (For Dummies Series)

Mutual Funds for Dummies - Eric Tyson As an individual who has traveled down the well trodden pathway of mutual fund investment and have stumbled and admittedly lost my way this book has proved to be extremely valuable. Certainly much of the practical investment psychology offered in this guide is just plain common sense - the one thing that many of us through out the window or never give thoughts too. Let me summarize: determine your goals, study the risks and rewards, steel yourself for the ups and downs of the market, periodically review your investments, made carefully adjustments to your portfolio as required and sit back, take some deep breaths and relax. This is your typical Dummies book as far as basic format is concerned - including those wonderful Tennant cartoons. Author Tyson writes with authority on the subject and provides a mini encyclopedia of mutual fund information that I believe many seasoned and novice investors will find useful.

Introduce los fondos de inversión, como construir una cartera de fondos, y explica como es la mejor opción de inversión para el ciudadano de pie. También explica y demuestra que los fondos pasivos y los activos con bajas comisiones son la mejor opción. Si no estás de acuerdo, debes leer este libro. Bien documentado, con ejemplos, y muy sencillo de entender, si peca de algo es de claridad por repetición de algunos conceptos.

It is an out of date book or old edition but still a great read. I feel more confident in my investments and knowledge. Great starter besides just trusting in YouTube. Trust but verify!

I just retired and life has been a whirlwind. I know it;s late to start the investment game and the banks are paying next to nothing on what little money I have. But it is time to make a move and enjoy what so many other brave people have done. I was terrified of loosing what little money I have my cousin gave me the push I needed to get started. He suggested this book and I am so grateful he did. Investing is such a scary thing in todays economy and this book gave me the information I needed to begin playing the game. Mutual Funds for Dummies calmed the fears and was an invaluable took in choosing between minimal and middle of the road risk accounts. I feel confident in my investments and have been watching the money grow over the past week! I'm sure there will be bumps in the road for my investments but so far the accounts I invested in are making profits much more significant than a bank. At the rate my money is compounding I;m sure I can weather a financial storm and still be ahead of the local banks offerings. I wouldn't have made the conservative investments without the information in this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who feels apprehensive about investing outside of their local bank or for beginners of any age.

Although I started this book, Mutual Funds for Dummies, in self-defense when a financial issue came up while settling the family estate, I found I actually liked reading it. Not only is Eric Tyson clear and uses real-world examples, he defines vocabulary which is important for any field of study. As an early techie, no one could understand me when I babbled off about mounting diskpacks, aseembler language, and integer strings unless they were also in the field. Knowing the relevant vocabulary lets you "get" what you see on the news, in your investment statements or hear from professionals. I can check the impact of my operating expenses (now that I know what they are and what their impact is) against those funds the author mentions and can have a "more adult" discussion with my broker. Mind you, I'm no dummy. The nuts and bolts of investing have just come to me late in life which is perfect -- now I have the time to study it, and spend the profitable results. Thanks Eric.
