Customer Reviews

Everything you need to know about how to not go broke but didn't know who to ask

Smart, swift no bs investment primer for the rest of us. Answers basic questions and concerns with wit, common sense and a thorough understanding of the options that make sense. Should be mandatory reading for those like me, who are confused by today's financial turmoil. Wish I had read it two years ago. Oh well, better late than never.

Finally...

Finally a guide for those of us not normally comfortable navigating the world of finance, investment or markets. This was an informative, easy read that should be used as a guide by everybody. I recently filed bankruptcy and I'm sorry I didn't have this book a couple of years earlier.

"Nailed It"

----- Original Message ----- From: David Peters To: Peter Passell ; Joan K Peters Sent: Saturday, February 07, 2009 1:22 PM Subject: new book Dear Peter and Joan, Thank you for your new book, "Where to Put Your Money Now". I began this book and it immediately grabbed my interest. It wasen't with the feral excitement of a murder mystery, but with genuine interest and curiosity about "what happened and why". Although I have been reading about it for months, Peter seemed to nail it with crystal clarity, and conciseness. I didn't have to wade through all the esoteric high finance concepts. My first sitting was about an hour and a half. (I couldn't concentrate on a woodturning book that long!). I found it light, appealing, folksy charming with an engaging rhythm and cadence I could almost humm to. It was vintage Peter. I could almost imagine you talking telling one of those complicated economic stories in simplified humourous form. I think this book is a much needed, must read description of our current catastrophe. I have intelligent friends who are bewildered and struck dumb by the crises and need a readable guiding hand. I believe this book is it and I will recommend it to as many folks as I can. I hope it turns out to be a current best seller. Passell rides again! Best of luck, David -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.

a must read

i've been reading peter passell for years. He's always been right on the money, but this book is really-really right on the money. in fact, it's the best explanation for the financial crisis i've read and his suggestions on what to do next, in terms of personal finance, are clear and compelling. i'm going to buy a bunch of bks and hand them around to every puzzled person i meet. susan lee, new york city.

giving this book to my clients....

Timely, smart, yes, even fun to read, this book helps clear the current financial fog...I'm giving this as a gift to all my clients (I'm not always so generous:). I'm also giving it to the twenty somethings in my circle--if they pay attention now, they can reap rewards down the road... J. Godfrey, CEO Independent Means
