When it comes to investing, most of us know where we'd like to be but not how to get there. We'd like nothing better than to sit down with an experienced professional who can guide us through the bewildering array of choices. Reading this easy-to-understand book is like having the founder and CEO of a $600 bilion brokerage firm sit at your table and distill his 40-plus years of accumulated wisdom in a one-on-one session with you.

You will learn how to:
* Define and set investment goals.
* Prepare an investment plan, put the plan into action, and update the plan regularly.
* Plan for your children's education or your own retirement.
* Cope effectively with the ups and downs of the market.
* Make sure you'll have enough for a comfortable retirement.
