New investment guide for aging markets

This stimulating, comprehensive guide to wealth management could hardly be better timed. Published only a few months before what has been widely described as the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, it offers readers a thorough, detailed guide to preparing for a long economic winter. Author James O. Lunney (writing with Larry Chambers) explores the influence of demography on growth - in the case of the United States, a rather dire influence - and offers readers a process-oriented approach to the management of wealth. He backs up his instructions that you should pursue good investing information by providing resource listings, including Web sites. Much of the book remains timely and forward-looking, even if some predictions have already begun to manifest. getAbstract does caution that those who read it might wish they had done so sooner.

excellent and lots of very very good information

I havent finished this book, but what I have read has not wasted my time one bit. New ways of seeing things. Ways to simplify getting to what's important. Skipped to the back and see where I can find exactly information I have been wanting to know. This is a very very good and useful book. Was afraid it would be about the same old boring retirement garbage.... not at all! Thank you James Lunney, with Larry too! What a surprise to find!

Great Look into Your Investment Options

Nice to read someone who takes a global view without predicting the end of postive personal investing. Offers insights into choices you can make now and for some years ahead. Refreshing to read after listening to the daily hype we're confronted with on TV and newsletters. Projects a potential scenario going forward without talking down to the reader. If he is right in some areas then well worth the price. Insightful,helpful charts,well outlined stratagies

Worth Reading!

Lunny's book is written sensibly and organized such that a novice investor or those who've never thought about their finances carefully can feel comfortable heading in a new direction. His idea of looking at ones entire "wealth" including investments, insurance, mortgage, etc. is practical and straight forward. Lunny explains his points in clear easy to read language. I bought the book for my husband and my son - both have learned a lot from it and are glad they have it!

True investment insight. Lunney has predicted the future.

One of the best investment books in decades. For starters, the book was just published. Lunney wrote about the current mortgage problems months if not years in advance. It must be nice to have a crystal ball. Must read for anyone who wants to invest wisely.
