David Bach's Smart Women Finish Rich is a homage to the financial wisdom of his grandmother; it's also an excellent foundation for women who are starting to get their financial lives in order. Bach's approach to money management is rooted in years of investment seminars for women and his work as senior vice president of investments at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. During that time he recognized that "people rarely know what is truly driving them emotionally when it comes to money." In response, Bach has written a guide to money management for women based on his belief that "financial planning is as much an emotional issue as it is an intellectual one." Are you considering your values in your work and investing? What part of your daily work is driven by your goals in life? Is your latte habit preventing you from accumulating substantial wealth? Bach addresses tax strategies, wills, insurance, retirement plans, and investments in a highly accessible manner. Smart Women Finish Rich ably bridges the gap between simple saving strategies and preparing for widowhood and financial independence. --Brad Doll

A MUST for all women!.......2007-09-26
David Bach provides helpful and realistic advice when it comes to money. He brings home the ways we all spend money on unimportant things and how if channeled in the right direction can yield a very comfy nest egg. It was GREAT to have it to listen to in the car. I've lent it out to several women so far and they are all big fans of it.
Easy read.......2007-09-18
I haven't finished the book yet but so far so good! It's an easy read and I read it when I have time. Small enough to carry in a bad and take with me everywhere. So far I've learned alot and hope to finish it soon!
Women should read this book..........2007-09-05
My dad used to tell me that all I had to do was to marry a man and he will take care of me. I never bought into that and didn't get much more financial advice outside of that from him. This book offers some good advice. It is true that switching over my savings account to a higher interest earning account has more than paid for the cost of buying this book. It is more of a motivational book but has some good tips on how to get started for personal financial planning. When I talked to a financial planner he was surprised how much I knew about finance and what I wanted to do with my money. I also like what Bach has to say about educating future generations - what we need to teach our kids.
The Book for Every Woman.......2007-09-02
I would suggest that every woman read this book and not only read it but actually putting the priniciples into practice and making a plan for their finances.
This book really helped me to see how much I was on track and also showed me some areas that needed to be tweaked.
Great Tool!.......2007-09-01
I purchased this book for my daughter who just graduated from college & began a career. It proved not only valuable to me as I plan for retirement but it's also a valuable tool for her as she sorts through managing a bugdet & planning a future. This book is written for women, in our language. I'd recommend it to other women.
Book Description
Packed with important stuff you need to know, and spiced with real-life stories of "entry-level" investors, cool facts (like the fact that between your 18th and 30th birthdays, you will likely hold an average of 7.5 jobs), and references to rock and pop songs, this hip, "tell-it-like-it-is" guide focuses on the basics of investing, stocks and bonds, mutual funds, short term saving and long term investing. Emphasizing that a person is never too young to think about investing, it includes definitions of important terms and concepts such as return, liquidity, risk, dividend, yield, and the stock market indexes; information on how to research a company, purchase stock, and select a mutual fund; and detailed explanations of 401(k) plans and IRAs.

Start here, start NOW!.......2003-08-28
Ever traded baseball cards or comicbooks? You?ve taken your first step in investing!
This book succeeds where many others fail: It does an excellent job of breaking into layman's terms the most complex investing and financial concepts, while at the same time making the whole thing completely relatable for someone who knows *nothing* about investing. That is a talent many wish they had. This is no mean feat when you consider all the jargon you have to learn. Now, imagine having fun while doing it! Wow! Eric Tyson, eat your heart out!
Sure, it?s been a while since this book first came out, so you know it needs a little updating...get over it! I still give the book five well-deserved stars. I appreciate the authors for writing such an awesome little book, as reading a book is a big investment of time, and reading this book was definitely worth it.
Share it with a teen or twenty-something you love, and give them the gift of setting them on the path to becoming investors.
A MUST READ for people in their teens and twenties!.......2000-07-27
Before I bought this book, I was probably like a lot of young people out there... ya get paid from work and you go blow it on the weekend with your friends at the mall. You just manage to get your bills paid off, and wonder why you can never seem to get a decent amount put away in your savings account? People, wake up! This is the time you should be saving for your future, or you'll regret that you didn't when you get older! I bought this book with determination not to spend every dollar I make and how to put my money towards my future. The book gives excellent explainations on the stock market and how it works, and even explains all those Wall Street symbols in a way that it's actually fun to read! It explains everything from savings accounts, to stocks and bonds, to IRAs! When I was finished reading the book, I was so glad I had read it when I did, because the later you wait, the more you're wasting time! I recommend this book to all! Read it and you'll be glad that you did!
An excellent piece of information........1999-07-04
This is an excellent book. It makes so easy to understand - all those complicated stock terms, author makes use of beautiful examples from time to time. It is a must have for every person who wants to invest money in stocks etc. (may be, except the ones, whose primary carrier is stocks or stock trading). I myself bought and sold stock over the last few years but never understood the terminology completely. It is nice to have it in my library - Thanks to the authors.
A personal library must! Says a Cincinnati Investor........1999-03-30
There is absolutely no better tool in the market today. It's a great handbook for those sophisticated Generation X'ers, and an even a better tool for that worldly, younger new generation who are blazing trails right behind the X'ers.
Hey Boomers, your children, the N'Gens, are going to take the world by storm. With your ideas and their cohesive, cooperative energetic spirit, there isn't anything that they won't accomplish.... But without the financial skills so wonderfully illustrated in this book, your child will be left behind the pack. He or She will fail to live up to their unbelievable potential.
As an owner of this book, I can honestly attest to its value. I think it should be part of every high school senior's core curriculum! It is the only book that can make sure your child is ready to assist his/her peers in shaping the future of America and the World.
If your school board has not yet adopted this text, then please makes sure before your son or daughter goes off to college this fall that they have this guidebook to the world of life. America and for that matter the World will be grateful.

If You Invest, Buy This Book!.......2007-06-10
Jim Otar first came to my attention when I read his article explaining variable annuities with guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits in the Advisor's Edge Report.
It so impressed me with its cogency, and clarity that I wanted to read more of this author's thinking. So I bought his book, "High Expectations & False Dreams".
I read it completely on the day it arrived, and was only slightly disappointed.
The same logic I saw in his article pervades Mr. Otar's book. In it he applies such investment concepts as asset allocation, dollar-cost averaging, and cyclical investing to one hundred years of stock market history.
A lot of mathematical analysis went into the results, but he graphs them all to produce an easy read.
I was most impressed with his "Fingerprinting" of mutual funds to discover which funds to keep (or buy), and which to drop (or ignore). He explains this technique in such a way that it is easily reproduced by anyone familiar with spreadsheets. An important benefit, as you will want to keep tracking those you buy, so you know when to drop them.
In his wrap-up he tells which investment methods are the most potent boosters of portfolio longevity.
I recommend this book to anyone who wonders if his investments will adequately sustain him during retirement, and how to keep them going as long as possible.
It's rigorously based on empirical data, which I found a more credible approach than any others on investing and retirement.
My only disappointment is that I wished he'd explained how to optimize the benefits of a RRIF, a Canadian retirement device. But as his book is intended for a wider audience than just Canadians, one can understand its omission.
As a financial planner with over half a century's experience I've read a lot of books about retirement and investing. This is the most believable of them all.
Buy it!

Customer Reviews:
Outstanding! No real trader should be without this book........1999-09-06
Krieger has managed to pack into this book (he calls it a "guidebook" and I see why) everything from incredibly accurate day trading reversal techniques (using heretofore unexamined uses of WD Gann's genius), to detailed analysis of the amazing Keltner Channel, in which the price bars predictably move day after week after month (a true leading indicator). And this is just a tiny portion of the very practical and profitable technical analysis techniques thoroughly discussed throughout the book. It also goes into the most fascinating discussion of the natural forces which underlie the markets and how you can use them. It also details excellent money management and risk management methods, and has the most comprehensive overview of the entire business I have read. And it really does show how to trade as a business and not a gamble, which is of critical importance to our consistent success as traders. An entire chapter details how to best deal with news and government reports. The list goes on and on. It is, in a word, Practical. Although I think you have to be an actual trader to really appreciate just how good and useful this book is, it does start from a beginner's perspective. This book gets my highest recommendation. A brilliant work!
Don't buy much better out there for much less $........1999-06-20
This book only covers the very basic information needed. And all of the info he gives you in this book is free on the internet. He hypes excellent results from his system but that is another purchase, a very expensive software purchase. It boils down to this...you are paying him for an advertisment to buy more of his product.
nothing new in this book ........1999-02-13
If this will be your first book on commodity trading, it's a fair introduction. However, if you've read anything before, then save your money and invest it in a real-time system.
A glorified sales pitch!.......1999-01-27
This book is a glorified sales pitch for Mr. Kriegers analysis tools. It falls way short of being a how to guide. While his writing is good and the information is helpful, it stops at the most critical point...How To! The book should be priced at $19.95 based on the infomation provided and that they hope to make money on the other end as well. The information can be found elsewhere and you won't feel fleeced when your done.
The best, most practical, profitable guide I have ever read........1999-01-06
Why do I recommend this book so highly? My ever-growing trading account has something to do with it! This is no joke folks. The detailed knowledge presented in the pages of Scott's book has ultimately translated into significant trading profits for me, often on a daily basis. And I have definitely "paid my dues" as a trader so I know what I am talking about. I had been trying to trade successfully (both daytrading and position trading) for almost three years, and during that time I acquired a library of about 45 trading books. I learned a bit here and there, but ultimately they didn't help make me any money at all (and often to the contrary, I lost a great deal trying to follow their poor directions in the rough, no nonsense, real world of trading). It got to a point where I thought I could never succeed at the "dream" of being an independent trader at home.
Well, I can happily tell you that UNLIKE any of those other books, Scott's is overflowing with the real, practical "How To's" of trading (from A to Z, just like it says), and it actually shows you how to make serious money at this. It turned my trading around 180 degrees to the plus side! Finally! To be a successful trader you really do need knowledge (just like Scott says) and this book has it in spades. It is also extremely easy reading, even when it gets very technical. It's amazing how it actually turns you into a successful chart analyst without your even realizing it.
Bottom line is it works! But don't just take my word for it. Check out all the other trader and professional reviews of the book at Amazon and at the book's own web site, and then just get it! Sorry this review was so long people, but I am very excited about all this, and if I can help you to shortcut all the useless time, frustration and loss of money that I went through then it is all worth it, right? Go for it and Happy New Year!!

Just the book I've been looking for!.......2006-10-19
This book was filled with ideas and options for someone (like myself) who is looking into part-time work.
This book is well-researched. It is dense and has so much information written in a clear and consise manner. I especially enjoyed the segments about the workers who have made the successful change from full time to part-time.
Thank you, Ms. Berger. I am looking forward to implementing your suggestions into my own job search.

Investing in the Dream
Personal Wealth-Building Strategies for African Americans in Search of Financial Freedom
BY JESSE B. BROWN
One of the country's most well-respected financial experts shows African Americans the way towards a secure financial future
Imagine a community garnering over $400 billion in commerce. How powerful it would be in matters of public policy, political power, social influence, education and business. At least this is how it should be. Shockingly, $400 billion is indeed the economic strength of African Americans, and, yet, this community lags behind in the rewards, which define the quality of life in America. The indisputable link between the promise of American life and financial freedom is a concept touted by every one of our leaders, including our most enlightened. Dr. Martin Luther King said, "We refuse to believe there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check - a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice."
It is based on this principle and in this spirit that Jesse B. Brown wrote INVESTING IN THE DREAM: Personal Wealth Building Strategies for African Americans in Search of Financial Freedom . Clearly written and concisely drawn, this book speaks directly to the African American community confront, the historical cultural and racial obstacles that have kept African Americans from investing in the country's lucrative stock market.
As motivational as it is educational, this hands-on investment guide helps its readers learn the tools and techniques that can lead them forward to financial security and increased opportunities. Divided into four concise sections, Brown examines the history of African Americans' finances and lays out an easy-to-follow plan to get out of debt, live well now, and build for the future.
Section I - Taking Control of Your Finances begins with the concept that African Americans have tremendous financial power in this country, but have yet to harness this power. The fundamental but overlooked ideal that starting where you are today is more important than what is on hand is re-emphasized, and how to plan for your future.
Section II - Understanding Stocks, Bonds and Mutual Funds highlights Brown's unique gift for communicating often complex theories into language that "the common man" can understand and use. Brown has a way of making the almighty stock market less intimidating, more accessible, and definitely user-friendly.
Section III - Setting and Achieving Your Investment Goals helps readers to utilize the information they have just learned. Step by step, Brown addresses some of the most important issues for African Americans, all Americans for that matters, issues which reflect this community's emphasis on certain values and principles: how to invest for a home, education and retirement. Recognizing and focusing on traditional values is one of the special trademarks of Brown's philosophy.
Section IV - Smart Money Moves looks at other strategies that help the reader complete the picture. There are many ways to achieve financial success and security, and Brown's bottom-line, realistic approach easily defines where, when and how to make the right moves for the readers and their families.
With straightforward information and inspirational stories of how real people have turned their financial world, and their lives, around, INVESTING IN THE DREAM is one of the best books for ensuring that African Americans get their piece of the pie. Through testimonials and real-life success stories, readers can see that it is possible for them to be successful as well.
Finally, there is someone with the knowledge and will to "take Wall Street to Main Street". Jesse Brown is the little guys' guide to the American Dream of Prosperity.

The path to financial freedom.......2004-10-09
Have you ever been broke, busted and disgusted? Do you live paycheck to paycheck? If you answered yes, then INVESTING IN THE DREAM is the book for you.
Author Jesse B. Brown states, "prosperity has a spiritual basis - it is a divine right." He provides sound rationale as to how we can turn our negative financial situation into a positive one by developing an investment plan and making savvy financial decisions. Even if it is a small amount, the up front sacrifice will ultimately blossom into a financial blessing.
From stocks and bonds to everything in between, Brown not only provides insight into the mysteries of investing, but also reinforces his point by using real world examples. By following five simple steps, we can gain financial freedom according to Brown. These five steps are develop a long-term investment plan; max out tax-deferred retirement plan contributions; review investment goals on a regular basis; follow sound advice and hire a financial advisor to keep you on track.
All in all, INVESTING IN THE DREAM runs the gamut of financial advice. In addition to stocks, bonds and the tax-deferred investment vehicles, Brown also touches on credit card debt, debates about vehicle purchases and provides guidance on home purchases as well. The information in the book is presented simply, and in an easy-to-understand format. At times, Brown seems to be somewhat preachy, but there is no doubt that he knows the investment business. If you are seeking a new financial path, then INVESTING IN THE DREAM may be a book you'd like to consider.

A great reality check!.......2007-10-15
This book is quite different from other career books, and that's what I like about it. White teaches the reader how to focus on things that will work in your job search, and identifies things that don't. She has some strong examples of time wasters & offers strategies that bring better results. Some of her writing is intended to jolt the reader into waking up and taking a more powerful stance in the job search...aligning oneself with the interview as an equal partner, insted of giving the interviewer all of the power in the process. I think the book would be a great wake-up call for new college grads and for those who are transitioning into a new career. White teaches both groups how to emphasize their strengths while standing out for the right reasons. Good pick!

Secrets of the Hidden Job Market: Change Your Thinking to Get the Job of Your Dreams is a no-nonsense guide to getting hired. Chapters cover how to avoid the traps inherent in the traditional system of networking ("Executive recruiters are not in business to get you hired. Never forget you are there for the recruiter's benefit; they are not there for yours."), the crucial importance of properly preparing a resume ("The design of your resume is irrelevant; the only things that matter are what your resume says and how Mr. Bigg feels as he reads it."), the importance of maintaining a positive outlook ("Like everything else, your belief about your age becomes your experience. When you stop believing your age is a problem in your getting hired, it will cease to be one.") and much more. Written in plain terms for readers of all backgrounds, Secrets of the Hidden Job Market is a go-to guide for making a good impression successfully competing for opportunities.

You're not "filling an opening;" you're solving a company's problem. When you look at job seeking in this manner, everything you are currently doing changes and so does your success. With "Secrets of the Hidden Job Market," Janet White will revolutionize the way look for your next job. She gives you the inside scoop on recruiters, want ads, human resources, headhunters, employment agencies, resume services, and more.
Do you have a job objective you can write in six words or less? Should your resume be written from the employer's perspective? Do you think you are never too old to have the job of your dreams? Do you believe you have the experience for your dream job? Should your cover letter be written like a sales letter? Do you know whether you should accept a beverage from the interviewer? If so, do you know why? Should you avoid discussing your current or past compensation during the interview? Is your follow-up call about the employer? Should the interviewer do most of the talking during the interview? Have you done the research and have a list of companies you WANT to work for? Janet points you to the correct answers. Unless you responded `yes' to all of these questions, this book should be on your desk.
When you want something badly enough and believe it's already yours, the impossible becomes possible. Janet explains the difference between being a traditional job seeker and a contrarian. There are a few things you need to remember: 1) The universe will give you whatever you focus on., 2) Know what you want and believe it is already yours., 3) Decide what you want to do and take the proper actions to allow it to come to you., 4) Do your homework.
If you are serious about finding the position you want, with the company you have chosen, "Secrets of the Hidden Job Market" is the book for you. If you prefer to go about job hunting in the same old way, with the same tired results, purchase a copy of this book for your best friend. They can loan it to you after they get the job of your dreams.
