Reviews

The Worth Guide is organized for both the novice investor and computer user who wants to learn from the ground up, as well as for the experienced stock picker and internet surfer who wants information on particular topics. Each of the 11 chapters is focused on a specific investment subject, from choosing basic software, through explaining fundamental analytical tools and concepts, all the way to building a personalized investment and analysis system from scratch.

About the Author:

Jim Jubak, senior financial editor at Worth magazine, was one of the first financial journalists to take up computerized investing as today's most important new development in money management. Along with his various articles on investing in interactive media, Jubak designed the data base and invented the ratings system used by Worth in its 1994 and 1995 reports on mutual funds. Jubak also wrote the book In the Image of the Brain. He resides in New York City.

Worth is the bold, flashy newcomer to the arena of financial periodicals. Its parent company is FMR Corp., the giant mutual-fund holding company that includes the Fidelity family of funds. Editors at Worth include the likes of legendary Fidelity Magellan Fund's former manager Peter Lynch, Investment Banker's (1994) Jim Rogers, and Andrew Tobias. Here, Jubak, Worth's senior financial editor, provides the best guide to date on how to take advantage of electronic applications in the area of personal investing. He explains what software, hardware, and other equipment to use to research companies and markets, analyze data, share tips and advice with one another, and actually make trades. Included are more than 100 (from the more than 500 currently on the market) product reviews. Jubak does not talk down to either computer buffs or experienced investors but is still able to reach those who may be neither. Recommended for even the most basic investment collections.
