5 out of 5 stars a fantastic primer for any investor.......2007-09-17

I have been reading a bit about investing for a decade but still felt I lacked a clear and comprehensive understanding of the previously overwhelming world of money and investing. NO MORE! I have found nothing that compares to the clear, concise and highly readable format of this book. The color coded and cearly defined sections helped me digest the well-organized and very readable material. However, the author's far exceed the abilty of most to clearly and concisely explain the most difficult and complicated of topics. This little book is a gem.
I feel like I've had a brief course in economics and investing and am now able to knowledgably and confidently discuss investing with the most savvy of finanical experts, agents, and those know it alls one often encounters. I will most certainly be looking at other Lighbulb Press materials.

4 out of 5 stars Pretty good general intro to investing.......2007-05-02

This book describes the basic ways to invest your money. It covers markets and currency, stocks, bonds, indexes, mutual funds, ETFs, options, futures, and other alternative investments (briefly).

The format is very easy to read - there are lots of diagrams and pictures, which actually provides a good break from the large amount of dense information provided. One thing I liked (but that some may find annoying) is the frequency of repeating definitions. Between various sections, concepts are often defined multiple times. I found this useful, since it reminded me what a certain concept was without having to go back and find it earlier in the book.

In general, the information is pretty accurate and up-to-date. However, I noticed 1 error on the idea of fluctuation in currency value (International Investing in the Money & Markets section, p. 21), which gets the concept of a "strong dollar" during an international equity trade backwards, but then follows with an example diagram that gets it right. I was frankly surprised to see such a glaring mistake. I e-mailed the publishers, but received no response.

Another thing that I didn't like is the fact that, for some numbers in some of the diagrams, there is no mention at how the numbers were calculated/derived. I personally like to see/try all the formulas, so that was slightly annoying. But for the most part, I was able to figure out the formulas myself.

In conclusion, the book does an excellent job introducing various investment opportunities. It covers general information on each investment vehicle and describes the risks associated. It does not, however, teach you any special strategies (other than the obvious "diversify your portfolio" and "use strategies to minimize risk" ones) on investing - this is not the purpose of the book.

While I was initially put off by the brochure-like format and the clip-art-like pictures, I was pleasantly surprised by the content and the ease with which the information was presented. I certainly recommend this as an entry book for someone who does not understand the different ways to invest in various markets.

Pros:
+ nice introduction to markets and exchanges, and how they are regulated
+ covers all of the important investment vehicles used today
+ lots of useful information - good reference
+ lots of diagrams and pictures to break up the text

Cons:
- a few mistakes
- relatively dense - don't expect to blow through it if you want to retain the information

3 out of 5 stars There is an alternative........2007-08-20

WSJ Guide to Money is out of print. That is why the cost has gone through the roof. Standard and Poor's Guide to Money and Investing (Standard & Poor) The Standard and Poors Guide to Money is by the same authors and is even a year more current. Take a look at the cover you can even see that it is the same book and that all that was done is WSJ in the title is changed to "Standard and Poors Guide to Money and Investing". Same book by the same author. The only difference is that is is in print so the price is reasonable.

4 out of 5 stars Handy Little Book.......2007-05-03

Although this isn't the largest book in the world, I really enjoyed reading it. I thought that I was pretty savvy as far as the way things worked, but this book definitely enlightened me. I also appreciated the pictures that made things clearer.

4 out of 5 stars A little bit tough to read, but worth it........2007-04-28

If you're a beginner, interested in investing, this is a very decent primer to start with. Buy it with Eric Tyson's Investing for Dummies, and you'll be fully set!

1 out of 5 stars Not impressed.......2007-02-12

A nice introduction to wall street if you were raised on Mars. For people who want to do investing for a living this is a waste of time

I think this book did a great job in helping me understand the universe of money and investing beyong the scope of stock. I have been trading for 1 year and wanted to buy a small book that gave me a general education on the subject. Although much more can be written on each topic covered it is good for beginning to understand the whole picture.

5 out of 5 stars A great guide!.......2007-07-02

I've just finished ready this book, An Investor's Guide to Trading Options. Here are a few thoughts for anyone interested in purchasing this book. The book is very educational and seems to be geared toward most knowledge levels. The writing style was fairly easy to follow and I could comprehend most of the book. I've just started dabbling in options so this provided a nice "manual" to help me with getting my trading strategies down. Another nice thing about the book is that it does not come across as favoring one strategy or another - in other words, it's giving you the entire perspective of BOTH benefits and risks to trading options. I highly recommend purchasing this book if you are interested into looking at what trading options is all about and how to get started.

4 out of 5 stars Anonymous.......2007-07-02

This book is one of the best books I've read as manual for anyone interested in trading options. The book provides insight by using straightforward language combined with creative illustrations. I found this guide to be an inviting, yet comprehensive look into the world of options. Also, it explains what options are and how they work, provides real-world investing scenarios and describes strategies for various market conditions.

2 out of 5 stars light on details.......2005-09-19

If you are looking for a "Cliff's guide" for options, this is the perfect book. Unfortunately, the book offers absolutely no additional information (infact less information) than that is available for free on websites such as msn moneycentral, yahoo finance, etc. If you are an absolute beginner as far as trading options are concerned and need a book, this one certainly is not the option you should consider! Too pricey for information that is available free on most reputable websites. On the plus side, the graphics in this book is stunning and has creatively used almost all colors invented by humanity....

        Book Description

        Written in an extremely lucid, informative style with vivid graphics and illustrations, The Essential Guide to Your 401(k) objectively guides you through all the complexities and opportunities of 401(k) plans.

        Nearly 35 million people have 401(k), 403(b) or other defined contribution plans, which have replaced more traditional pensions and Social Security as a primary source of retirement income. Yet few who have these plans, whose value can total hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars, truly understand the intricacies of these plans, the many benefits to exploit, and the many pitfalls to avoid.

        Despite the reams of information available to people with these plans, many don't know which investments to make, how to determine if their investments are performing well, or the best choices to make when they change jobs, borrow against the plan, or retire and begin withdrawing from their account. Making the wrong choice can mean huge tax consequences, or even penalties.

              Great help in preparing the itinerary for my Europe trip! Times and prices have changed since 2005 but the sites have not.

              5 out of 5 stars Great for low-budget travelling. Not very detailed........2007-02-18

              This book worked very well for me for 3.5 months all over europe. It lacks some detail, which is a given for any book that covers this much ground. It's also a little too heavy while backpacking. I took the book and cut out some sections that I did not need before my trip to save weight. Then, after I left a country, I would throw out that specific section. The information was pretty accurate, apart from minor price changes. I would highly recommend getting alternate (and more detailed) maps for larger cities. This guide is clearly aimed at low budget travellers.

                    From the supplier: The Tax Court ruled in Bowater Inc that a US parent corporation and its domestic international sales corporation allocating their interest deductions under the safe harbor transfer pricing method may net interest income and income expense. The short-term reinvestment of borrowed funds to minimize carrying costs was one rationale given by the court. Taxpayers wanting the take advantage of this ruling should note that the regulations in effect in this case spoke of using the aggregate of deductions to allocate, while current regulations allocate the gross amount.

                      From the supplier: Multinational taxpayers should be aware of the potential for state taxation as a combined group in California, New York and other states in light of rulings that have found unitary taxation constitutional. In California, corporations under common ownership that operate as a unit can have worldwide income subject to state taxation. The water's edge taxation election made available by California has proved burdensome. New York only requires combined reporting when separate filing is found to not clearly reflect New York state tax liability.

                            "Self-Employed Tax Solutions" is an excellent self help start to treating your cottage industry as a business and working your way through the intricacies of filing federal taxes as a small business. Ms. Walker's explanations are clear and well illustrated.
                            We had no trouble understanding each point and applying the rules to our own small business situation. The only problem we found was her citing a court ruling, putting it in quotes, and not providing a bibliographic source.
                            Both the glossary and the index are adequate for the novice readers. The style was breezy and light, which made the reading easy.
                            A good place to start for an entry level "indie" who needs basic tax information. She has several "wish I'd thought of that" ideas for keeping records and saving time.

                            Easy to understand. I am new to it all and learned quickly thanks to Junes pesentation of the material. Also will be a great reference manual come actual tax time!

                            I highly recommend this book! I am about to graduate design school and am starting up a sole proprietorship. I realized I know absolutely nothing about what I'm getting into tax-wise, so I picket this up on Amazon. An excellent buy! This book is incredibly easy to read and understandable, despite the fact that you would expect the subject matter to be painfully dry. It's not. The world of taxes isn't half as painful and boring as I expected it to be, thanks to this book.

                            5 out of 5 stars Excellent Book.......2006-12-30

                            This is a very well written book that provides a lot of insights to self-employed people. Provides very good ideas on deductions and methods to legally cut the self-employed person's overall tax burden.

                            4 out of 5 stars A Few Issues but Holding a Few Gems Too.......2006-12-24

                            I pretty much never comment about the font a book is done in, but let me start out my review by saying that this book had the oddest font choice I've seen. The letters were very thin, squarish, and actually hard to read against the white. It made me realize just how important something like font can be in a book.

                            So, on to the content. This book is written by a self-employed person, for self-employed people, to help them manage their records for taxes. She doesn't want you to DO your taxes - she wants you to hire someone, like her, to do them for you :). She just wants you to be informed about what is going on, and to perhaps help prod your tax person along if they're not very good.

                            In case you were thinking this book was a mere "nice to have", she says in her introduction that "Such complications [of not handling this properly] could prove fatal to your enterprise." I love it how books say "you must buy me or you will DIE A HORRIBLE DEATH!!!" A page later, she promises "If you use this method, you will never miss a tax deduction" which I sort of doubt :) So this book has already hit a few of my buttons in book reading - threatening certain doom if I don't get the book, promising the moon, and being hard to read :)

                            Much of the first part of the book focusses on whether you should go into business for yourself, what it means to be self employed, and whether you should be a DBA, Sole Proprietor, LLC, etc. Hopefully anybody looking for tax solutions has already gone through those stages and isn't looking for all their information on these important decisions in a few pages of a tax book.

                            But on to the meat. When you get into the realm of *taxes*, the book really does well. It explains the difference between personal gifts (tax deductible up to $25 per person per year), entertainment expenses, free giveaway items (pens etc), charity donations, and more, in very clear language.

                            The book goes into travel deductions, home office deductions, leasing and buying equipment. It gives a ton of examples. Some people might find them annoying - I admit that many of them are quite silly. Still, it's easy enough to skip over them if you're not into cutesy examples, but if they help you absorb a concept, they are there for you to read.

                            Like with any business book, there are a lot of very common sense things in here - but a few very key tips. The interesting thing is of course that depending on who reads it, they might find different things to be fascinating vs well known. Something that one person says "of course" to, someone else might say "That'll save me thousands!" So it's good that all bases are covered in here.

                            Well recommended as a book to at least get out from your local library, or to get and share around your network of business-owning friends. It's not a book that I need to sit on my library shelf, but it was worthwhile to read and glean a few important tidbits from. I'll now pass it along to other business owners to let them pick out their own gems.

                            This book provides a refreshing perspective of the legal pitfalls that face business managers, sales personnel or anyone within an organization who maintains contact with their customers. The discussion of smoking guns gives clear and concise examples of what not to say or write and provides a means to develop competent communication both with the customer and internal to the company without the "litigation lighning rods" that can happen in our fast-paced business world. This is a must read for business majors entering the workplace, as well as all sales and business managers. The writer has a sense of humor which keeps you turning the page.
