 Great Information May 21, 2008

All in all, this is a great book on long term investing. Nick uses simple and true math to prove the points. I was able for the first time to fully understand dollar cost averaging and I now have a new view on bonds.
Only problem I had with it was his 'voice' as he made comments about working with a financial planner. At times I felt as if he was calling me stupid if I didn't agree with him. He also didn't make ANY good arguments of why I should use a planner....his only point was they a planner will stop you from selling when you shouldn't. Guess what Nick, I'm a big boy...thanks.
Again, it is valuable despite my one gripe.

An excellent book if you are a financial planner. It gives you all the ammunition you need to handle the objections of your prospective clients. I am not too sure that it would convince prospects that working with an advisor is the best thing to do even though it is.

This book, simply and conveniently, describes necessary investor behavior to accumulate wealth. This is a great book for financial advisors to send their clients and prospects to easily explain the "trick" to wealth accumulation and preservation. Some of the concepts and charts clearly illustrate what most of us try, sometimes in vain, to educate our clients about. Excellent tool for financial advisors. I highly recommend this!!!

Nick Murray does a great job of explaining the concept of investing in mutual funds to creatate wealth. This book is simple and easy to read, a great book for a beginner. The internet has made investing very complex, Nick Murray has made the process simple.

As the name implies, creating wealth truly is simple, and inevitable, if you stick with a plan. This book gives novice investors a guideline for how to get started and to create a plan for creating wealth that you can't outlive and still leave some money to your heirs. I have read several of Nick Murray's books, but this one is the first intended for the general investing public. As usual, as only he can, Nick takes a rather complex subject, and simplifies it so that the average investor, or beginning investor, can understand. If you are looking for the "hot" fund or for a get rich quick scheme, this book is not for you. However, if you are interested in putting together a plan to create the wealth that you desire, I think this book is for you. An easy to read handbook for disciplined investors.
