 Great Resource for ETF Investing ! June 24, 2008

I really enjoyed Mr. Lydon and Wasik's book. They take time to cover the basics and covers the evolution of the fund industry. I think this information is essential to fully understanding ETFs and why their advantages are so great and attractive to investors, particularly those who were burned in the early 2000s with active manager funds.
The whole idea of having a plan for your inexpensive "beta" return source in today's world of "alpha" managers is essential in investment success. Understanding how an index is constructed and weighted is key in knowing what you're in for with these funds. The authors do a great job in disecting the components of these simple, yet powerful products.
Mr. Lydon clearly wants to make sure that the reader is well-rounded in their knowledge about what exactly gave rise to the ETF industry, and the factors that have allowed it to experince its huge growth over the last ten years.
The authors do a really nice job giving investors a simple way to take the knowledge base on ETFs and putting it to practical use with model portfolios tailored to various risk and return profile based on lifestyle and goals.
This book is an excellent entry point for the kind of investor who's always wanted to learn more about ETFs, but wasn't sure where to begin.
great investment advice - a must read! June 27, 2008

As a recent retiree and a big fan of [...], I've been looking forward to this book. I was especially interested in the chapters on retirement, as well as the strategies and model portfolios outlined later in the book. The authors do a great job explaining how ETFs can work for someone who wants to be a little more conservative with their investing.
If you don't know ETFs, and have some money in the market, you should definitely read this book. Every smart investor I know has moved into ETFs: they are a great vehicle for personal investing. This book explains them in great detail, with easy to understand language.
I now know what my Financial Advisor has been talking about July 20, 2008

Although I have a Financial Advisor who manages my securities, I have often asked myself why my Advisor relies so heavily on Exchange Traded Funds for my portfolio.
This book answers that question. Not only do ETF's make sense, but the iMONEY book makes sense. The authors present their information in a straight forward, no-nonsense, easy-to-read manner.
After reading this book, I would question my Financial Advisor if they did NOT rely so heavily on ETF's.
I want to thank the authors for presenting the information in this book to novices such as me. I am sure that the portions of this book that I did not understand were written for more experienced investors who I hope to be someday.

Like ETFs, Like the Book June 25, 2008

I'm a huge fan of ETFs, but wanted to know more about them, so when I heard this book was coming out, I ordered it. I'm glad to say that I don't regret it! I have no background in finance or investing, and I wanted something that wouldn't feel like it was completely over my head. Thankfully, it wasn't.
I only knew the basics before, but this book gives strategy, advice, personal anecdotes and goes over all the areas for which ETFs are available - it's an enjoyable read!
A Must Read for the Personal Investor August 11, 2008

If you are looking to take control of your investments, this book is a must read. ETF's should be a part of any Personal Investing 101 education, and iMoney covers the subject in an easy to read style that is informative and entertaining at the same time. I highly recommend it!
