Greed Is Good

Rating:
Summary: Easy practical read, lots of good advice.
Review: When my supply of new books dries up I like to hit my bookshelves and re-read something I enjoyed in the past. This book was fun to read, the author has lots of colorful verbage and pictures from the past that will make you smile. Or Cringe. Mixed with that is a very powerful message of saving and spending your hard earned dollars. If you are new to finance and don't want to wade through a textbook type explanation of financial matters this book would be a sound choice. It contains information on spending wisely, mutual funds, options and insurance in just enough detail to get you started. I would supplement this purchase with "The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need" by Andrew Tobias for a great jumpstart on finance.
