This 10-step, easy-to-follow guide provides novice investors with an understanding of sound money management and investing techniques. The author explains how to select investments that are appropriate for you and the best ways to put money aside on a regular basis. The book is packed with examples which illustrate how mutual funds, dividend reinvestment program (DRIP) stocks, and individual growth stocks can perform over long periods of time--in some cases, examples span a 10-year period to demonstrate the benefits of long-term investing.
