An Honest Account of what is happening at Wall Street
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Remember, THEY MAKE MONEY FROM YOU, NOT FOR YOU. I love Richard Ferri's books. This is one of them. If you are clueless about financial investment and want to get started on it, then read this book. I also recommended All about Index Funds, All about Asset Allocation and The ETF Book. Unlike other books that promote sales pitch (IBD: Investor's Business Daily or even Wall Street Journal) Ferri provides sound independent studies done on investment strategies and why almost all of them will give average or below average return. However it does not cover all the story. You still need to understand our debt-based economic structure and fractional banking monetary system to avoid heavy losses during severe recession or depression. I recommend The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve and Crash Proof: How to Profit From the Coming Economic Collapse (Lynn Sonberg Books) for that.

Excellent book with practical, easy to follow advice minus the financial jargon. Mr. Ferri explains financial concepts in a simple, straightforward style and walks the reader through steps to develop a sound, well thought out financial plan. I'd highly recommend this book!
A great book to help the non-professional invest

This book was well-written, easy to follow, and really helped explain how to invest your money. Although I read a lot on investing, this book provided a lot of new and enlightening information. Mr. Ferri's book is a must and will really help you invest your money profitably.
Sound, practical, reader-friendly investment advice.

How can investors in stocks gain the investment knowledge needed to plan for retirement? Serious Money covers everything from considering the pros and cons of diversifying a mutual fund portfolio to developing a logical investment style based on real returns rather than dreams. Chapters outline Ferri's particular style of investing and reflect the author's background as a stock broker and financial advisor.
