About this title

Synopsis

There's never been a better time for the individual investor to take control of his or her investments. Anybody with a computer and a modem can monitor stocks, access real-time quotes, get the latest company financials, and much, much more in short, you can get all the same data as Wall Street's Wise Men. And you can do more with it than they ever dreamed.

The Motley Fool is the most popular online financial forum on the planet. It's the place where hundreds of thousands of individual investors go to get what they need to maximize their investment dollars. And for good reason. Since the Gardner brothers took their act online in 1994, they and their fellow Fools have been helping these investors crush the market averages. In their national bestseller, The Motley Fool Investment Guide (and in You Have More Than You Think, their latest assault on the Wise and latest advice for the eager investor), the Gardners have introduced their readers to the investment strategies and financial tactics that enabled them to beat the very best that Wall Street could manage.

Now, The Motley Fool Investment Workbook will take you step-by-step through the process of putting to the lessons learned in these two books. Here, you will pick up a pencil and: Build yourself a budget Figure out how much you have to invest Work out which investment strategy is best for you Discover the best sources of stock market information and what to do with them once you find them Find out where and how to buy stocks the cheapest and fastest way possible Learn when to hold on to your investment and when if ever to let it go

And that's not all The Motley Fool Investment Workbook will show you exactly how to take control of your own monetary destiny in the simplest possible way.

Reviews

The Gardners proclaim this to be a "stand-alone interactive guide," but it will appeal most to fans of their Motley Fool Investment Guide (1996) or their just-released You Have More Than You Think: The Motley Fool Guide to Investing What You Have (1998). In their trademarked (literally!) Foolish style, these two brothers provide the charts, graphs, questionnaires, and pop quizzes necessary to help people assess their own financial status, set goals, and develop a plan and method to reach those goals. The Gardners help make investment principles clear and are very effective in reaching those who may be put off by more traditional financial planning guides. Although their advice is quite sound, they serve it up irreverently and make it clear that they do not take themselves too seriously. David Rouse
