Customer Reviews

Not just for seniors!

The title implies that folks 50 and over will benefit. As an avid investor, still younger than 50, I can attest that this is a survival guide for anyone wishing to trade in stocks through traditional brokerage firms.The book exposes the "technology bubble" of 1999 and 2000, showing the high-tech stock recommendations by the major brokers and analysts, while they were secretly selling off their own shares. I was so impressed with this book, that I used it as a research source for an MBA course paper titled "Contrarian Investing - Riding the Manipulators' Coattails."Awesome book. Don't buy another stock until you've armed yourself with this information!

Very good and well written book

The Ultimate Safe Money Guide is a very well written book and researched well. If you feel unsure about the economy, the various markets or financial vehicles, I would highly recommend reading this book. Martin Weiss also has an excellent website for figuring out which companies (insurers, brokers, etc) are the safest. The book lists specific companies which are the least safe, etc. He explains how people and businesses have manipulated stocks and what you can do to protect yourself. Even if you don't believe the economy will keep getting worse, this is a worthwhile read.

It's the Ultimate Money Guide

This excellent book is more than just about investing. I found the chapters on health insurance and long term care insurance outstanding. I have subscribed to Dr. Weiss's newsletter for several years and it is excellent. If you have any doubts about his expertise,...Martin Weiss just tells it like it is in easy to understand language...

Don't Invest a Dime without reading this masterpiece first!

Martin Weiss PhD. is a savior. His latest "Ultimate Safe Money Guide" should be required reading for anyone planning to invest in the stock market, purchasing life insurance or planning for retirement later on down the road. Unfortunately, many will continue to listen to the mainstream Wall street hawkers on TV and get taken to the cleaners financially. This book is written in easy to understand language with many suggestion that you would usually have to pay hundreds of dollars to get from someone you could trust. Buy this book! I can't be more direct than that. I have subscribed to Martin's newsletter for at least three years, followed his advice, and haven't lost a dime in this BEAR market. Unfortunately, I can't say that for many of our friends that have lost thousands in their 401K and IRA's because they have listen to their advisers who keep telling them, "your in it for the long term" yeah right! Buy it, read it, study it and then read it again!

Wealth of smart information

This is simply a fantastic book. There is a wealth of good solid information about how to protect your money and keep it working for you. And it's not just for people over fifty, either. I think plenty of people in their thirties, like me, could make use of this book. The writing style is easy to read and understand, making the book all the more effective.
