Product Description
Mutual funds aren't for fools -- they're for smart investors at all income levels who are looking for the best and most efficient ways to build and manage smart and sound portfolios. Although the basic principle behind mutual funds is simple enough -- taking money from many, many people, and investing it jointly in stocks, bonds, or other securities -- learning the how's and why's of successful investing can be an intimidating process. From investment basics to establishing and maintaining your mutual funds portfolio, financial guru Eric Tyson, author of the best-selling Personal Finance For Dummies® and Investing For Dummies®, guides you safely through treacherous waters with insight, experience, and welcome doses of humor. Along the way, you'll discover the best sources for picking great mutual funds. You'll also find out about sorting through the differences between bond, stock, and money market funds; making your tax loads less taxing; and using your computer at home or at work to track your mutual fund investments. Ready to get bullish on mutual funds? Mutual Fund$ For Dummie$, 2nd Edition, is the best plain-speaking guide to the mutual funds market for investors of all interests and income levels.

• Financial Planning
17 May, 2008
Eric does a good job of a broad view of the particular subject matter at hand. My only issue is that the books are highly overlapping. A structure with the original book on personal finance with additional chapters on subtopics would likely have avoided all the duplication.

• Making Wise Mutual Fund Investments
09 June, 2008
We all know every Mutual Fund associate thinks THEIR fund is the best on the market, hence the NEED for a non-partisan book that helps you understand WHAT to look for in a GOOD Mutual Fund. If that sounds like you, I HIGHLY recommend this book. It is TRULY what it says it is...you may be a beginning investor when you begin the book, but you'll feel confident enough to make thorough investigations into prospective funds by the time you finish it! It is an 'easy read' book with easily understandable text.

• A More Than Adequate Review Of How Mutual Funds Work And Why You Should Invest In Them. Very Little Fund-picking Advice.
14 May, 2009
This is a great resource for those wanting to know more ABOUT mutual funds, not for those wanting to know WHICH mutual funds to buy. Heavy on the explanations, definitions, and categorizations; light on the criticism and praise of individual funds. While you do get a bit of "how to pick the right funds", it is all fairly basic, with nothing very stunning or surprising that will make you a better mutual fund-picker.
For what it is, this is a great book. Clearly written, with only the right amount of detail and very little repetitive content. At times it can be a bit wordy, making this book a bit longer than it really needs to be, but overall it is an easy read with an index and table of contents that will help you find pertinent information quickly.
So, if you want to learn more about mutual funds, how they work, ect., this book is for you. If you already feel like you have a good understanding of what they are and how they work, there isn't probably too much you'll learn from reading this fairly long book.

• Informative, But Promoting A Bit Too Much On Vanguard Products
01 September, 2009
This is a review for 2nd edition. It's an informative, but it's heavily promoting Vanguard products which aren't the best financial products on the market. I bought two Vanguard mutual funds after read this book in 1999. One broke even after 7 years, which means I loss money on it if you count the 7 years interests. I'm still holding on the other one. After 10 years, it's still 30% in red. Needless to say, my impression of Vanguard mutual funds and this book isn't the best.
