Folks,
We haven’t done any book reviews in a while. While I was browsing around at the Books-A-Million at DuPont Circle last Thursday, I picked up a copy of Personal Investing: The Missing Manual by Biafore, Buttell and Fabbri. I was hunting for a good basic primer on personal finance and wasn’t disappointed. The book is a breezy 226 pages and has loads of solid advice and basic educational content. Unlike a lot of the junk in the personal finance field these days, I found the book a refreshingly solid summary of the nuts and bolts of money management basics.
Specifically, if you need to learn to manage the psychology of investing, buy stocks or manage a portfolio, this would be a good place to start.
At $21.99 its a great value and will be worth the read.
Best,
James
Seems like I found another person who sees other existing readable about investment as a kid of a recycle bin. Maybe that causes the failure of our friends who who keep on spending and investing but in a wrong way.
I fully agree with the reviewer. I have an ever growing collection of books on this subject and this is a little gem. Well worth the very reasonable price
Steve,
I think I see where you are coming from. There are lots of critics of contemporary personal finance advice, and one wonders if it isn’t a contributing factor to the relatively poor economic condition of most Americans.
