Rating:  Summary: My Understanding and Confidence Increased with Each Chapter Review: I bought this book because of my confusion with index funds after reading different advertisements from newspapers and websites. The result of my learnings are three limit orders I just placed for different sector funds.This book is written objectively without a slant towards a specific product. Also, written for the inexperienced as well as the professional trader. It provided some real insights as to how trading is accomplished (in plain English). The bing "WOW" was seeing how I was being penalized as long term investor in mutual funds because of the annual tax distribution. Also, the majority of funds do not beat the S&P500 index!! Why invest in them when these new investment resources are available? Highly recommend this book to all levels of investors.
Rating:  Summary: Valuable tool for participating in global markets Review: I found this book to be of great value as I have been an investor in the stock market for years but am always looking for better strategies to enhance my portfolio. Index strategies are relatively new and I am glad someone has finally written something about them. This book offers an overview and educates you on how to participate in global markets fluctuations. It provides the definitions of various indexes and their relationships to the underlying markets they represent. I will utilize this book as my dictionary and reference guide when I see a trend in an area I want to invest in, but don't want to buy an individual stock because of the risk involved with owning just one stock of a sector. Indexes offer a "mutual fund" type investment and are as easy to buy as a normal stock. This book offers me a good guide and explanation of the different indexes available.

Rating:  Summary: there is a wealth of information in the book; e-mail me. Review: Over a thirty-five year period of handling individual and institutional accounts, I think I have seen every way that people can try to beat the market or at least keep up with it. Now, with exchange shares, one can pick the sector or group or country he or she wants to participate in, buy into that niche, and go play golf or the movie or take a trip. The stock selection has already been done by the framers of the exchange shares. And I get into, in my book, why indexers, and I agree with them, think that with indexing you may do as well, on a risk-adjusted basis, as individual stock picking. I think you will learn quite a bit from my book, whether you choose to use exchange shares or not. You are welcome to e-mail me at exch13@aol.com.
