WHAT A JOY TO READ
I must have saved 10,000 dollars by reading this book. I have read it twice now and I am a better investor for it. The amount of money I saved in fees alone makes the book a real winner. GOOD STUFF!!!!

Money saving information
This book should be required reading for any that either have money or plan to have money in the stock market. Why? Because the tricks of the trade and hidden fees are going to eat into your profits and at the very least you should want to know where your money is going. Thinking of seeing a financial planner? Read this book to arm yourself against some of ploys they might use against you. Using a full service stock broker in your trades? Some of what goes on behind closed doors might surprise you.You should understand how car salesmen work before buying a car, why not understand how mutual fund salesmen work before investing, especially since the amount of money is probably going to be a much larger amount.
It is the naïve and uninformed get soundly fleeced everyday in the financial markets, at the very least, read this book before making any large financial decisions that involve trusting the advice from a financial advisor, banker or stock broker. These often have built in conflicts of interests that could cost you money.
While pros and those in the know will probably not find anything here new, and stock brokers and other financial salesmen probably hate this book, I strongly recommend it to any that are thinking about entering the financial markets.
