The Sage Guide to Mutual Funds: Superior Investment Wisdom from the #1 Online Fund Gurus FROM THE PUBLISHER
From the founders of Sage, America's largest online mutual fund forum, comes a guide for fund investors combining elements of financial planning, investment analysis, and online investing.
Based on the philosophy of "inside out" investing--knowing oneself, establishing personal goals, and investing accordingly--The Sage Guide to Mutual Funds is the ultimate source of advice for successfully navigating the increasingly confusing yet opportunity-laden world of electronic investing in mutual funds. In clear, honest language, Stephen and Alan Cohn provide prospective investors with an easy-to-follow program that shows them how to get started. Defining the various types of mutual funds available, they offer time-tested techniques individuals can use to evaluate and choose the right funds for them, and explain how and when to buy and sell, and how to allocate assets. All online. This all-inclusive guide includes the latest techniques and knowledge available to the electronic investor--how to research, chat, and use Internet forums for minimum loss and maximum return.
The Sage site on America Online attracts more than 500,000 unique household visits per month. The authors were recently named one of the top-ten power brokers in the mutual funds industry by Smart Money.

FROM THE CRITICS
Robert Barker - Business Week
The Sage Guide To Mutual Funds (HarperBusiness) by Alan and Stephen Cohn, is a lot zippier. The Cohns are the financial planners behind the popular Sage site at America Online, which is to fund investors what Weight Watchers is to dieters--in community is fortitude. The book is sound, basic, and a bit padded. What I appreciate about the Cohns, though, is their unwillingness to equate Internet investing with scoring millions.
