Anyone who is contemplating investing in stocks or mutual funds should check out his easy–to–understand explanation of ETFs, how to use them, and how they can play a valuable role in an investment portfolio."
–– Darrell Jobman, Editor in Chief, TradingEducation.com, former editor of Futures magazine

Look for some other book on ETF's
27 July 2007
Format:Paperback
Do not fall for the other review like me. Generally I avoid books which have less than 10 reviews. But decided to try this as there are not many books available on ETF's.
This book is very badly written and poorly edited. It is neither for beginners nor for professionals. I am very disappointed that Wiley could publish such a book and some kind of experts (three of them) endorsing it on the back flap.
I want to give less than one star, but Amazon does not let me do that. If not for following reasons I would have given this book at least two stars.
1)About 100 pages (from page 165 to 268) dedicated to listing various ETF's available in market. These pages cover information like inception date, asset size, expense ratio, past returns for each of the ETF's. All this information is available fro free on many web sites and I do not understand why anyone would waste 100 pages in a book.
2) Short chapters with a story in each. At the end these meaningless stories the primary character decides to invest in ETF.
3)Same information is repeated in the text and side notes. Too many redundant side notes.
