Customer Reviews

Terrific introductory book on beginning investing

I actually picked this book up for a dollar at a thrift store. One of the best investments I ever made. It is an excellent introduction to the basics of money management & investing. In particular, it highlights well certain basic concepts such as the shrinking value of the dollar, compounding, importance of saving, attractiveness of mutual funds for the small time investor, and more. The pictures & layout aid in a very very good introduction to the subject matter.

Yes You Can Review

James E. Stowers' Yes You Can is a financial self-help book full of entertaining cartoons and images that help illustrate very valuable, tried and true information. The straight-forward language sits on the level of everyman's understanding, while universal analogies and examples provide a wider lesson board. The message of Stowers' book is simple: financial independence is achievable-especially when the steps are laid out in front of you in such an enjoyable way.

a must book for young people

I have two of this book and loan to young people to read. This book teaches the importance and benifits of investing in an easy manner. The book is tops and so is it's author.

A MUST READ BOOK FOR ANYONE SEEKING FINANCIAL FREEDOM!

I was initially attracted to this book because I have several mutual funds with Mr Stowers company-AMERICAN CENTURY INVESTORS (formerly 20th Century Investors) Stowers espouses the power of mutual fund investing, valuable at a time when many literally deify individual stocks, includes charts and how to pick mutual fund winners--as Stowers states; "All mutual funds are not equal, some are better than others" Finding money to invest and post retirement strategies. The personal survey included in the book is like a financial check up and future planner. If you want to make a profit from investing and get the most from mutuals this is the book for you. I also highly recommend "MORE WEALTH W/O RISK" by Charles J. Givens and 'Mutual Fund Strategies" by Jack Dicks.
