Investment-management

I was dissapointed with this book. It covered a lot of material, but seemed to skim many subjects and didn't provide very helpful suggestions. Ideas were mainly things like "avoid impulse purchases" and "look for discounts and sales." I suppose if you wanted a basic guide about budgeting and an introduction to different types of investments, this book would be good. But if you are looking for something more in-depth, then keep on looking!

I have been looking for a book that simply goes through the basics of money and financial planning without going over my head and I found it in this book. I think its great in that it just lays out what anyone should know about having and saving money and its easy to read. I would have liked a little more explanation at some parts or at least clearer cohesion within chapters, but it was manageable in any case. I think its also good for college students who might need to look ahead and start their planning. For me, this book lays the foundation and I will count on Suze Orman for the rest. :)

A must have for anyone, regardless of age. This book allows your survivers to have all information they need in one organized format.

"If you don't have time to read, you don't have time to invest." Give me a break! I am constantly amazed that these so-called "independent investment advisors" think that the average investor can reach financial independence and multigenerational wealth without the aid of a well-trained, compassionate and skillful financial advisor. The average parents today are so busy with careers, businesses and family there are probably 3 or 4 seconds left at the end of the day to do any reading for pleasure, let alone financial reading. In Ms. Fisher's world, most of the baby boomers of today would never make it financially since they should not invest because they don't have time to read. Take care of your clients and don't give us any more advice.

This easy-to-use guide to financial planning empowers gen X, boomers, and retirees to understand and manage both their finances AND financial advisors. Many lawyers, brokers, and insurance agents will hate this book. It actually teaches us financial novices to get the most out of our money and our(too often non-client oriented) advisors. Reliance on fee-based coordinating advisors, like Sarah Fisher, IS the way to go! Her approach is totally professional, client-focussed, objective, and honest.

I am very impressed with "1001 Questions". I am a dummy when it comes to financial matters and Ms. Fisher's book as taught me the questions I need to ask to get started on the path to financial success. The book is written to educate all readers from the novice to experienced investor. My husband and I both found it to be very helpful. Great job!

A concise and very readable book on incentive stock options and how to get the most out of them. Lots of practical information on what they are, the tax issues, ways to exercise them and more. I especially liked the discussion on using margin to do a 'cashless' exercise and then holding the stock for long term capital gains.
