One of the goals stated on Martin Weiss's Web site is “to be the No. 1 authority on conservative money investment strategies,” and his book The Ultimate Safe Money Guide certainly reflects that intention. Aiming at those 50 and over, Weiss offers advice on everything from real estate and insurance to annuities and tax-exempt bonds. What makes The Ultimate Safe Money Guide especially timely (this book was written before the Enron disaster made headlines) is the contempt in which he holds both Wall Street and corporate America. According to Weiss, “hype and distortion” is the norm, both in the brokerage/analyst community and in how American business discloses its financial results. He writes that “stock ratings are bought by the companies,” and that based on significant discrepancies between the earnings and cash flow of 6,000 companies his firm has analyzed, 31 percent may be guilty of manipulating their earnings reports. And while Weiss does not eschew stock market investing altogether (his firm sells stock advice), he believes most investors, especially those over 50, need to seriously rethink their risk tolerance for stocks. The Ultimate Safe Money Guide goes against the grain of most investment advice on the market today, but if retirement is on your horizon, Weiss's advice is worth considering. --Harry C. Edwards

Some advice good some questionable.......2005-09-10
The information on the stock market and ratings companies was very useful.
However, the suggested method for switching money between mutual funds in your 401k doesn't work. It doesn't work because many mutual funds don't allow you to change between funds as frequently as the method recommended by Mr. Weiss. In fact, some mutual funds require you to keep money in the fund for a year.
I started to use the recommended procedure by Mr. Weiss but soon got a nasty gram from Fidelity telling me to stop.
Excellent guide for those over 50.......2005-04-04
A well written, well documented, critical review of investment strategies for those who wish to provide for and maintain wealth during preretirement years and beyond.
I find Dr. Weiss's analyses and advice to be practical and credible. Book was written in 2002; suggest follow up with his newsletter.
A Great Reference!.......2004-12-27
I actually purchased this book over three years ago but I still remember what Weiss wrote. How everyday people can save and become financially stable is what drove me and my wife to do the same. We do everything we can to save and only buy what we really need. Most of it really changed when we had kids. We stopped "treating" ourselves and really stuck to buying what our kids needed. To this day, I still subcribe to Martin Weiss' online periodicals as well. He may not be 100% (although no one is) but I believe in his philosophy and it actually does take some work on my part as well.
Are small gains really a loss?.......2004-05-18
If you are going to look back and worry about big gains that you did not make, this may not be the book for you. If you hate losses, Martin Weiss could help you.
Why did I buy this book?.......2004-04-01
Weiss is a gloom-and-doom prophet, constantly hissing about why the world and its money is coming to an end. I finally got out of his newsletter -- after losing money hand over fist while the rest of the world was making all of their money back -- and decided I don't need his book on my shelf anymore.

Not worth it.......2004-03-16
Buy another book on Technical Analysis. This book is very simplistic, a basic overview. Not even a Book ! not sure on why they even printed it. its really a booklet. Would have been an ideal sales promo tool. they could have issued it for free to whet your appetite, then used the pages in the back with the ads for their other products, to increase sales. its worth looking at only if it was FREE. a bit of rip-off and waste of time/money in my opinion
There are better choices........2000-01-24
If you are an absolute beginner this booklette might be a little useful but, there really are better choices out there. For a few dollars more you can pick up a copy of Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets : A Comprehensive Guide to Trading Methods and Applications, which is also by Mr. Murphy, or Technical Analysis by Constance Brown that will go into much greater detail.
John Murphy on Chart Analysis is really nothing more than a very brief overveiw of just a few points. This booklette is only about 50 pages in length with the remaining pages being devoted to advertisements or are simply blank. To get an idea on how brief the coverage is, consider chapter 8 on retracements, which is only a 1/2 page in length.
Better and more thorough coverage is available for free from one of the many web sites devoted to technical analysis.

Excellent Book.......2003-07-02
I thought this was an excellent book. The epilogue alone is worth the price of the book. Builds on what Polsky started with his book. Quite interesting.
Book Description
Taxing Women comprises both an insightful, critical analysis of the gender biases in current tax laws and a wake-up call for all those concerned with gender justice to pay more attention to the pervasive impact of such laws. Providing real-life examples, Edward McCaffery shows how tax laws are actually written to punish married couples who file jointly. No dual-income household can afford not to read this book before filing their taxes.
"Taxing Women is a must-have primer for any woman who wants to understand how our current tax system affects her family's economic condition. In plain English, McCaffery explains how the tax code stacks the deck against women and why it's in women's economic interest to lead the next great tax rebellion."—Patricia Schroeder
"McCaffery is an expert on the interplay between taxes and social policy. . . . Devastating in his analysis. . . . Intriguing."—Harris Collingwood, Working Women
"A wake-up call regarding the inequalities of an archaic system that actually penalizes women for working."—Publishers Weekly
Customer Reviews:
Who knew taxes influenced decisions so much?.......2007-01-04
A fascinating read. I never knew how taxes played such a large affect on marriages and on working women. After reading this book, I suddenly understood that some of the root causes of the economic dilemmas for working mothers are actually caused by our tax system.
McCaffery is right--we need change, and this book explains why.
ATTENTION WORKING WOMEN: READ THIS BOOK!.......1998-11-10
Taxing Women is a must-read for working women across America. Any woman who works while raising a family knows how hard it is to balance all of life's responsibilities. However, few women know how the tax system makes it even harder.
Taxing Women explains how the system operating today was created by males with a 50's mentality (think Pleasantville or Ozzie and Harriet). His well researched discussion elaborates on this philosophy and how the system it engendered is ill-equipped to deal with the two-earner family reality of today. By the way, don't let the word "tax" scare you. McCaffery provides easy to understand examples of situations where women are penalized for working.
I highly recommend this compelling book.

Book Description
In the early 1990s, lawyer Beth Symes brought an equality challenge against the Canadian Income Tax Act, arguing that her childcare costs were a business expense. The case ignited public controversy. Was Symes disadvantaged on the basis of gender, or unfairly privileged on the basis of class? This book seeks answers to those questions through close attention to the Symes case, where class and gender interests clashed over the tax treatment of childcare. It looks at the history of legislative and litigative struggles, the dynamics of courtroom discourse, and the influence of broad social debates about children and the public/private divide. It reveals how frequently the rhetoric of choice, responsibility, and selfishness is invoked in response to women's attempts to place issues of childcare on the public agenda.
Taxing Choices will interest all those who seek to use the law as a tool of social justice but are troubled by the perils posed by competing interests and conflicts involving race, class, gender, and ability.
