A look inside 20 Minute Guide to Investing:
“WHY READ THIS BOOK?
There are hundreds investing books around, why bother reading this one?
1. It’s free.
2. It’s short.
3. It’s written by someone who has worked in the investment field, studied investing, & has the academic degrees to back it up.
4. It covers the basics without the extras.
5. It’s easy to understand.
6. It makes investing clear cut and easy to implement.
If the past is any indication of the future, investing offers the opportunity to earn greater returns than leaving your money in the bank. Historically stocks have returned about 9% per year over the long term and bonds have earned about 5% per year. That’s quite a bit better than the lower returns from a bank savings account.
At 9%/year, a $1,000.00 investment would be worth $5,604.41 in 20 years without putting in any additional funds (and hopefully, you will invest more than 1 time and more than $1,000.00).”

I received the link in my email and took a quick look. So far I like what I see: You broke down complex subjects into simple, easy to understand segments, along with examples that anyone can relate to. I also like that you mentioned my infinite portfolio article.
I will be reading it more in depth, hopefully sometime soon, and will post a mini-review on my site when that’s done.
@Invest it Wisely-Thanks for the quick feed back. Looking forward to the mini-review. Enjoy!
Barb, Signed up and got the book. I will be reading it and post a mini-review and promote it during the weekly round up too. Congrats on your first ebook
Suba, I look forward to your comments and thank you for the future props! Enjoy the book!
