Product description

From Publishers Weekly

Exposing the seamy underbelly of the retail mutual fund industry, this helpful primer by seasoned financial advisor Edelman offers step-by-step instructions for how to beat it at its own game. We have more to worry about than the ordinary fallibility of mutual fund managers, he explains; the entire industry has become flush with liars, crooks, and charlatans. Writing in a calm, well-reasoned manner, Edelman (Ordinary People, Extraordinary Wealth) explores basic concepts of portfolio management and retirement, and college and elder-care savings approaches. The book gets off to a slow start as Edelman works to ensure that less sophisticated readers are not passed by. After a sobering look at deceptive marketing practices, illegal market timing, late trading and excessive and hidden fees in the retail mutual fund sector, Edelman breaks down the options for ordinary people to regain their savings from crooked hands, in a detailed, interactive guide to portfolio selection. Edelman's clear writing and helpful advice are sure to win him a satisfied audience. (Oct. 2)

I just love Ric Edelman's books! I have them all, and yes! I do listen to his radio show! I have purchased each of my son's Ric's book "The Truth About Money" as a gift. All of his books are basic, easy to read, common sense information. I would love to tell you I have a million in the assests due to following his information, however, I sometimes just can't get out of my own way! Let me just say that I had adjusted my investments according to info I gathered from my Edelman "Reads" just prior to the horrible market "adjustment" a few years ago and it saved me thousands in my 401K and other investments. While I did lose a little $, it was not nearly as bad as it would have been if I had stayed positioned like I was! I have suggested Ric Edlemans books to all my friends and coworkers. Even if you have a financial manager, education is a powerful thing! Be informed, or be a victim!

Worth reading. He clarifies, explores and organizes "Money"! Best description of the process of investing for an individual of somewhat modest means as well as those with 7 figure portfolios. He describes the problems and provides realistic answers. Ric sits at the opposite end of the spectrum from the "money pundits" and their ridiculous tips. You won't be disappointed. I certainly wasn't.

5.0 out of 5 stars What your adviser doesn't tell you about mutual funds.
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2013

I always felt intimidated by financial jargon. I own investments but didn't understand much about them or how much it was costing me to hold them. I even put off reading this book for a while because, though I knew I wanted to learn more, it seemed much like "homework" so I dragged my feet. But Ric Edelman has a wonderful ability to present the concepts so clearly that I wished I had been introduced to Ric and his books a long time ago. I have gained much understanding, specifically about mutual funds and 25 practices that are common in the industry. Was it a tough read? No way! You probably won't believe it, but the author's use of humor to illustrate his points had me laughing till tears rolled down my cheeks. I'm not a gal who pays any attention to footnotes, but let me just say, you should with this book. . .you'll be glad you did. If you own retail mutual funds you owe it to yourself to read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-researched insight into what's wrong with financial services
Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2013

I am an Investment Adviser Representative (not working with the author) who has 5+ years' experience with seeing it done "the wrong way". Ric makes salient point after salient point about the plenteous conflicts found in the financial system, as well as how to circumvent them. This book is just as relevant in 2013 as it was the day it was published. This book has become desk reference material for my practice, and it's been a valuable aid for assisting clients and prospects with seeing why Broker-Dealer representatives either can't--or won't--serve the individual investor's interests.

BRAVO! to Mr. Edelman for writing this book. I look forward to future works from this consumer-first professional mind.
