De: Ric Edelman

Narrado por: Ric Edelman

Ric Edelman, #1 bestselling author of Ordinary People, Extraordinary Wealth, and the personal finance classic The Truth About Money, offers more great wisdom for investors—and a valuable insert of sample portfolios that outline everything you need to know about building the perfect portfolio.

Ric Edelman has helped more people achieve financial success than any other practicing financial advisor. Now, Ric reveals the deceptive and manipulative business practices occurring in your retail mutual funds—practices that are causing you to suffer higher fees, greater risks, and lower returns than you realize. In The Lies About Money, he offers you a detailed yet easy-to-follow plan that lets you take back control of your investments—and your financial future.

Here, Ric shares his most valuable lessons gained through two decades of working directly with individuals and families. He reveals the lies that have infiltrated your retail mutual funds and retirement accounts and teaches you how to invest your money in your employer retirement plan; how to save for college; and for those who are retired, how to generate more income without sacrificing security. He shows you that proper money management has nothing to do with “hot tips” and everything to do with scientific analysis, bolstered by solid academic research and historical data. Along the way, Ric shows you the secrets to investment success—a long-term focus, the importance of diversification, and the crucial need for (and methods of) portfolio rebalancing.

With insight and strategies that will change people's lives, The Lies About Money offers the truth that everyone is looking for.©2007 Ric Edelman; (P)2007 Simon and Schuster Inc.

"This is a thriller, a real page-turner! Imagine one of America's biggest, most successful financial advisors sells all his own retail mutual funds. Why? I couldn't put it down, had to find out more! If I sell mine, then what? You'll love Ric's solution. The Lies About Money is a must-read thriller...if you want to retire rich!"

"Just when you thought the financial waters were safe, Ric Edelman shows that the mutual fund industry is like a shark waiting to be fed, and why you should be afraid, very afraid. But after reading The Lies About Money, you won't have to be afraid anymore."

Fundamentals!

I did not really understand what I thought I knew. Many people talk about money in a way that assumes we already know how the financial systems work, and, at least I, was too ignorant or too proud to admit that I really didn't. Ric makes no such assumption, and gives you what you need. This is fundamental.

Very Very Useful

Another very useful and candid reference in investing. I love Ric's portion on institutional funds especially.

Important Portfolio survey/ support no longer available

There was some great advice in the earlier chapters but the key important thing about this book on how to select the right portfolio is no longer available with any of his website.

Knowledgeable

I liked it all. Very informative . They recommended to everybody especially young people. There’s so much to learn about money the earlier, you know the better specially compounding interest most people don’t know what it means.
