Summary: 2 Books That Boosted My Net Worth To the High 6 (6!) Figures
Review: Those other reviewers (as well as CNBC, Amazon and financial experts) are right. SIMPLE MONEY SOLUTIONS by Nancy Lloyd (a Federal Reserve Board economist who I see frequently on CNBC and read in the New York Times Sunday Business) and this book by Ron Insana are all I needed to finally make sense of my personal finances and begin making good investment decisions for my personal portfolio as well as my 401(k) plan. By using the outstanding, original and easy-to-follow advice in these two books my net worth has actually risen into the high six (6) figures!!! Not bad while the market is stagnating or dropping. My friends, whose portfolios have been plunging in value, are in awe of my newfound financial savvy and skyrocketing bottom line. And I owe it all to the information I picked up in these two incredible books. Ron and Nancy should patent this advice. It beats anything I've read elsewhere.

Summary: Extraordinary Book
Review: Whether stock or bond prices are rising or falling there is always some pundit who will be more than happy to attribute it to some canned response like disappointing earnings or political uncertainty. But what these pundits rarely own up to when they make their observations is that they are guessing and usually don't know any more about the real reasons than the rest of us at home. Or, even worse, many pundits will hype a financial offering because they stand to make money if they can stir interest. Not so with Ron Insana or his masterful book. Ron's book does dole out great information and a behind-the-scenes look at what's really going on in the markets from someone who isn't working for a financial services firm. The editors at Amazon made a good call when they named this book one of the 10 best of the year. I also liked one of their other choices: "Simple Money Solutions" by Nancy Lloyd. After seeing Ron interview Nancy on CNBC I bought her book and it is the best Personal Finance book I have ever seen. These two books should be rquired reading for anyone who hopes to achieve financial security.
