The Women's Guide to Successful Investing: Achieving Financial Security and Realizing Your Goals Hardcover – August 19, 2014

I read this marvelous book twice. As the husband of a busy executive, I read chapter by chapter and reported the synopsis to my busy wife who was working at her computer in the office! Within a few days we were at our Fidelity office making changes to our investment plan and now have a clear picture of where we are going with our investments. This book is readable, understandable and is truly a fine guide to laying out and sticking with a sound investment strategy for life. I wish I had read this book 20 years ago. This is a course in investing that I'm glad I didn't miss. Now I'm looking for companies to hold for a lifetime, and those attractive value and growth stocks. We've got 4 grandchildren and we will be opening up 529 college plans for each. Don't miss this book.

Nancy Tengler's "The Women's Guide to Successful Investing" is a reminder that women's traits are a big asset to investing with studies showing that women are good at multitasking, which is an important investment skill. That along with other innate attributes makes for good investors. As she reminds us of these attributes and encourages confidence, this is a great book to begin building your own portfolio. The format of the "Intelligent Investing Rules" outlined in the book are helpful tools to key understandings.If you are looking for a knowledgeable and respected woman with the background experience that Nancy has regarding financial independence, this is the go-to book for you.

I just finished this incredible book and am inspired to begin my investment journey right away. Reading the book was akin to sitting at Ms. Tengler's kitchen table and listening as she shares her own successful step-by-step approach to smart investing, and throws in a homespun yarn every now and then to get her point across. Don't be discouraged if the material gets a little intense. The author describes and suggests strategies for both those who want to dive into the complexities as well as those who would rather begin on a more simple path. Whatever you decide, read this book and get started!

I wanted to understand more about this subject....actually thought I should know more about it, well, it's not of great interest to me regardless of what I said at the beginning of this so it's a difficult read for me. The list in the back of terms and their meanings was a help.

Reinforced the need for all women, especially, widows, or single females in retirement years, to become responsible for their financial decisions. I took the book and my personal insights to my financial advisor as he is part of my "Team or Support network". I was able to open a more respected, open communication with him and recommended he purchase the book to give to another widow who finds herself exploring and growing in new avenues.

I love Nancy Tengler.

If you need a reason to start saving and investing for the future, this book will set up your thought process. In a very straightforward fashion Nancy Tengler teaches you the logic of beginning your investment program with clear understandable steps that anyone can take. And men, don't let the title keep you away from reading this. This guide to successful investing applies to all.

Ordered new, got used instead it was also a signed copy for someone else...not happy at all.
