Customer Reviews

VWS review of Conover's Astute Investing

This book provides the most systematic approach to investing I havc encountered. Its step-by-step approach walks one through the process from establishment of investment objectives through examination of investment alternatives and the selection of funds based on meaningful criteria. Very well presented, and most certainly highly recommended!

Excellent for do-it-yourself investors!

I read a lot of books and articles on personal finance and investing - this book is one of the best I have read and acted on....the author really motivates you to plan your portfolio...and he sure has a lucid way to make it look easy. If you're committed to getting a sense of your financial life and want to build a comprehensive investment portfolio, get this book!

This is a user-friendly comprehensive book for investors

I thought I knew how to select a mutual fund and to diversify my portfolio before I read this book. Now I have adjustments to make. Conover gives valuable tables of criteria for bonds and funds, which I copied for personal use, and he offers his own slightly-outdated top picks. This is a must read for unsure investors with any investing horizon!

An excellent step-by-step guide to investing

A terrific book for anyone trying to gain a better understanding of investments and how to prepare for the major financial events in life. Conover combines common sense with specific advice about which mutual funds to buy and how to create a personalized financial game plan. Very readable and concise.
