Smart Guide to Making Wise Investments The Smart Guides Series

Smart Guide to Making Wise Investments The Smart Guides Series

If you’re like many in the baby-boom generation, retirement is just now starting to loom on the horizon, as is the prospect of sending your kids to college. If you’ve never put together an investment plan for yourself or your family, then the Smart Guide to Making Wise Investments may be a good start. Written by Gordon K. Williamson, an attorney and financial planner, this book provides a good overview of the many investment avenues available, from mutual funds and stocks to annuities and real estate. Williamson looks at the financial mistakes that many tend to make (such as buying a new car every few years and investing too conservatively) and explodes common myths about retirement (guess what–most of us will be living and working longer than we think). The book’s final chapter shows how to build a financial plan and evaluate your own tolerance for risk. –Harry C. Edwards

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars A basic book for understanding Investing
This book is a basic look at investing money in certain types of vehicles written in1998 which is still current 10 years later. While there are more advance books that give you actual techniques on what to look for, this book gives you the basics on understanding investments. This is a recommended starting place on this subject. It is easy and quick to read.

From the start, Mr. Williamson explains why you should invest your money and some of its myths. He also explains the risks. This sound advice on the stock market, risk, and bonds will help you make you to make the right decisions on which one is best for you.

The other sections describe simply about the vehicles such as:

1. Bonds and the how they are handled and traded

2. Trading stock and what types of them are out there and how to get them. The computer has made this easier.

3. Investing in Mutual Funds where he goes over the basics and the types.

4. Investing in annuities and why they are important.

5. Buying Real Estate and REIT (Real Estate Investment Trusts) where he explains why REIT pay higher dividends and usually safer.

These are the primary types of investments you will encounter on you journey to wealth.

The final section gives you a financial plan where Mr. Williamson gives you practical advice to start planning your investments and what methodology he uses. This helps the beginner greatly because it gets them started on the road to investing. He gives a detailed picture of what investments you should have at which particular time and how much of your investing dollars should go where.

Let be known, that this book is for the beginner who wants general knowledge on these subjects, they are not 100% complete. There are other books that do go into more detail and will help you make a better and sound decision on investing (see my other reviews), which I recommend for you to read.

Before investing however, please note you have to educate yourself, find your risk tolerance and be somewhat financially sound.

Thanks and enjoy.

5 Stars GASP, I UNDERSTAND IT NOW!!
This book is brillant. Absorbing accurate, brief and clear paragraphs was a joy. In the margins there are money-making/ money-saving tips. It follows much easier than certain “for Dummies” claim. BUY THIS BOOK. You’ll be happy with what you, too, have learned!

Profit from the Evening News Using Leading Economic Indicators to Make Smart Money Decisions

Profit from the Evening News Using Leading Economic Indicators to Make Smart Money Decisions

Economist Bussing-Burks clearly defines and explains nine key economic terms that have become part of the financial jargon used by newscasters, but whose relevance to the average American (and general reader) may not be readily apparent. She walks readers through such terms as “M2 money supply,” “federal funds rate” and “durable goods orders,” explaining how they’re determined or set, why they’re important to the government and to businesses, and how individuals can follow them. Promising that “your timing will be better, your investments will be more profitable, your borrowing less costly, and your grasp of money matters more skillful,” Bussing-Burks show how the benefits can be clear-cut. For example, she says that a good time to job hunt is when unemployment insurance claims are falling, since unemployment claims begin declining about two months before the economy picks up. If readers have steadily followed this financial marker, she believes, they will be able to figure out whether to ask their managers for a raise, consider looking for part-time rather than full-time work or think about going back to school. Though Bussing-Burks capably explores eight other economic indicators, what’s missing is practical advice on how readers can apply what they’ve learned to their own financial strategies. Lacking concrete guidelines for applying the author’s insights to portfolio management and other areas, or even just comments from financial planners, this book doesn’t fully deliver on the title’s promise.
