 Kindle edition review August 28, 2008
Catherine Michael (Sacramento CA USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a great book for content: very thorough introduction to ETFs; compares ETFs to mutual funds and describes other exchange traded securities that may be confused with real ETFs. Recommended reading before getting into ETF investing. (Recommended supplementary work: the ETF section of morningstar.com. Note: I have no connection to Morningstar, just a long time user).
About the Kindle edition: the Kindle formating is pretty bad. The line spacing compared to the type size is very close and tight, which makes for tiresome reading. Some books' formats simply don't seem to convert well for Kindle, and this is one of them.
On the plus side for Kindle: all the tables and charts are readable; although you may need to look closely, the text is readable, which is more than I can say for some Kindle editions of books with charts & graphs.
 A WONDERFUL TRIP THROUGH THE ETF FIELD; THANKS RICK. August 11, 2008
John A. Tirone (Macomb, Michigan)
A wonderful trip through ETFs. Book is well worth the money and I am sure worth more. Yet, while I'd suggest this book for any mutual fund investor, still, the more I read in this area the more I am convinced that I'll just "keep it simple" and stick with Dodge and Cox and Vanguard Funds ("admiral" or otherwise!) and probably Loomis-Sayles. Still, this book should be read by most mutual fund investors.
Ferri's work is a credit to the field, surely a credit to him and I'll add a credit to Walsh College (where I believe Rick is on or was on the adjunct faculty).

A must read if you want to learn ETF investing July 4, 2008
Algo Trader (Wayne, PA)
As a professional in the ETF business I highly recommend Rick's book on ETFs. His clear, concise and easy to read style cuts to the chase of ETFs. I particularly enjoyed the section on creations and redemptions of ETF--one must understand this section as it it's the cornerstone of ETF investing. If you buy this book for this section alone it is well worth your investment. A must read for financial advisors thinking of using ETFs in their client's portfolios. And a must read for the client as well.
Reads like a college text June 20, 2008

Provides a wealth of text book knowledge. It feels like you are studying for a college level course, replete with history and lists.
I find it somewhat lacking in helping me with picking etf's and making trades.

The book is a good reference and overview of the different asset classes available in Exchange Traded Funds. However, his opinion on commodities is difficult to justify. He calls it "As Asset Class with No Real Return." Really? Where has he been these past 5 years. Just because an asset class underperforms other asset classes in the past is not a guarentee of future (poor) returns. One needs to consider hedging against currency mismanagement and inflation. Also, the future may be different than the past now that India and China are demanding more commodities in an unprecendented way. I think the book is a good one to take out of the library, but probably would not purchase the book. It certainly provides much information on the menu of investments available via ETFs.
