Low Risk Investing: How to Get a Good Return on Your Money Without Losing Any Sleep

Rating:
Summary: good overview of investing options
Review: "Low Risk Investing" provides loads of factual information about the various investing options available to individuals. It provides clear discussions of all reasonable investing choices- equity investments(stocks, real estate) and debt investments(CDs, bonds, ...)- and tax considerations and portfolio fit. Unlike many other books I've read on investing, this book is mostly an objective discussion of the investing options and does not have all that much advice- but you can gain valuable info from this book. The only drawback is that now, in 2000, the book doesn't have ROTH IRA info or new tax info, but as a first book the read on investing, this is a good choice.

Summary: Great Overview of the Wide variety of "Safe" investments.
Review: This book goes through about 30 different types of low-risk investments and explains the pros and cons for each. I have this book from the library but I am buying it today to keep as an excellent reference guide for the future. This book is a great help for a person who is confused about all the low-risk choices out there. Dr. Kevin Grold
