Despite the fact that tens of millions own mutual funds, few know how to go about it for the best results. This book was the first and still is the best overview of the whole subject. The book is well designed for both beginning and more advanced investors. Over the course of a lifetime, this book should help you gain many additional thousands of dollars.The first three chapters are the basics for new investors. The first chapter explains the benefits of compound interest, and how high returns for a long time earn you much more. The second chapter looks at inflation, income, and principal risk. The implication is to choose between the risks and rewards of equities and bonds. The former gives you more potential for gains, but can be more volatile. If you are going to be a very long-term holder, equities will be better than bonds. The third chapter looks at the basics of mutual funds and how they work.The fourth through the seventh chapters look at how to select various types of mutual funds (equities, bonds, money markets, and balanced). In the eighth chapter, you can find out how to get information about specific mutual funds. Most comes from prospectuses and Morningstar.Many of the key insights come in chapters nine through eleven. In the ninth chapter, you will learn the advantages of index funds (you will beat almost all other funds of the same type). In the tenth chapter, the importance of finding funds with low costs is explained. In the eleventh, you will find out about the tax costs associated with a high turnover of portfolios.The twelfth chapter looks carefully at the rules of asset allocation. The thirteenth chapter provides model portfolios for how to implement various types of strategies for asset allocation.
