People wanting basic advice about stocks, bonds, mutual funds,
retirement planning, and tax strategies are often frustrated by
information overload. Picking the right book seems as daunting as
deciding what to do with their savings and investments.
Investing 101: Updated and Expand removes both roadblocks, putting
people on a path that they can understand and stick with. Kristof is
renowned for taking the mystery and anxiety out of investing by keeping
choices manageable.
Kristof walks listeners through the entire investment cycle and the way
they think of their financial lives, rather than presenting stand-alone
concepts like stocks and real estate. This expanded edition has new
information about 529 college savings plans, annuities, Roth IRAs,
reverse mortgages, and why declining markets can be good for you. It
includes a cautionary look at home mortgages as investments. There's
even a portfolio for the lazy investor.
Kristof's loyal audience and the success of this book's first edition
demonstrate that she understands what's on the minds of investors as
intimately as she knows what's happening in financial markets.
