The Only Other Investment Guide You'll Evern Need

Description for THE ONLY OTHER INVESTMENT GUIDE YOU'LL EVER NEED by Andrew Tobias:

This Book---THE ONLY OTHER INVESTMENT GUIDE YOU'LL EVER NEED---is not just an update of his 10-year-old classic. It's an entirely new and deliciously readable guide to managing your money that can save you hundreds and thousands of dollars.

Among the scores of things you'll learn:

*Whether you should contribute to a nondeductible IRA

*The pluses---and minuses---of everything from home equity loans and American Express baggage insurance to investments in rare coins or, timberland, master limited partnerships, Ginnie Maes, unit trusts, single premium life and passive income generators (to name just a few)

*The scoop on those TV life insurance policies---the ones for which "you cannot be turned down"

*How even small savers can earn 12 to 16 percent on their money, safely, in many states, through the purchase of tax certificates.

*How you can purchase less-than-no-load mutual funds---and which to buy

*How you can join a nifty credit union even if your employer doesn't offer one

*the best way to buy municipal bonds

*When to borrow

*How to make your financial plan

Tobias's knack is to make the simple stuff (setting up a budget) fresh and fun for sophisticated investors, while making the complicated stuff(real estate syndications) simple and compelling for the novice. You don't have to have money to profit from Tobias, you just have to want some. (A sense of humor helps, too.)
