Summary

If phrases like "pre-refunded munis" and "collateralized mortgage obligations" make your eyelids feel like they weigh a ton, this book is for you. A solid, concise primer that recognizes your fears, cuts through the jargon, and steers you away from double-talking "pundits," Investing for the Financially Challenged is brought to you by one of Wall Street's most informed and easily understood experts, Walter Updegrave, a senior editor at Money magazine. Updegrave gives you the kind of sound advice your mother would have given you (eat your vegetables, wear a hat in the sun, and build a diversified portfolio) . . . all the while putting you squarely on the road to financial stability, security, and freedom.
