The best-selling investing guide offers new information, new insights, and new perspectives

There's nothing better than having your money make more money—and getting to that place isn't as complicated as you've been led to believe. With some common sense, careful planning, and the right advice, you too can watch your money accumulate like it's growing on trees.

In the Ninth Edition of Investing for Dummies, best-selling author and nationally renowned personal finance expert Eric Tyson shows you how to make your money work for you with rock-solid advice that's stood the test of time. Steering clear of flashy get-rich-quick schemes, Tyson offers a slow-and-steady approach that can work for everyone from young professionals just starting their careers to baby boomers who want to bulk up their nest eggs just before retirement.

In the book, you will:

  • Get started with investing by exploring your investment choices, weighing risk vs. return, and get your financial house in order
  • Discover the parts that stocks, bonds, real estate, and small business can play in your portfolio
  • Learn to choose the right periodicals, radio, tv, and web resources that keep you informed and help you avoid the hype
  • With updated coverage of new developments like the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and their impact on investments, along with the growing trend amongst brokers toward zero- and low-fee stock trades, the Ninth Edition of Investing For Dummies is the latest can't-miss guide to investing your money like a boss.
