My Review

How to Invest $50 - $5,000 is for beginning investors. The language is not complicated. Concepts are explained in simple non-technical terms. Graphic icons mark important points and warnings making it easy to recall details.

Author Nancy Dunnan looks at each investment option in a balanced way. She indicates how different investments work citing the advantages and disadvantages of each one.

Perhaps one of the more important sections of the book is a schedule of important dates for your finances - Things such as deadlines for filing taxes or necessary paperwork. I have not seen any other edition aside from the US version so I can't say if others also have a similar section.

“Part Textbook and Part Workbook”

Q: Is there an investment formula?

A: nope

Some people may think that the book is a recipe for growing a small amount into a larger one. That's not the case.

In theory, you could follow Dunnan's recommendations and actually grow $50 into $5,000. However, each person's circumstances and attitudes differ. You can't discount those when planning finances. For example, someone living in a place with a weak bond market but a well developed stock market may be better served getting into equities even with a small amount of funds. Equally, someone who hates watching prices fluctuate might not prefer stocks.
