Mr. Lydon provides a very good introduction to ETF's. He outlines why they may be a better investment vehicle than mutual funds and he adequately explains all the different types of ETF's. For the novice reader, this book is an excellent place to begin. For the more seasoned investor it may give them a small push to break away from the world of managed mutual funds. Overall, the book is very well written, is factual and reads easily: as if Mr. Lydon is teaching you directly. As a short term trader, I hope Mr. Lydon writes a book on day and swing trading ETF's. I therefor give the book 5 stars for the beginner and 3 for the more seasoned investor with an average of 4 stars.
Good introduction to the world of ETFs August 14, 2009

This book is about ETFs which stand for Exchange Trade Funds, which is nothing but publicly traded funds. The author says that investing through ETFs is cost effective, tax friendly, and less risky because of diversification. They can give investors access to investments that are not available through traditional mutual funds. For example, investors looking to invest in emerging countries such as China or India can do so with less risk through ETFs. The same applies to investing in commodities or currencies. This book does a pretty good job of introducing readers to the fast-growing investment product, ETFs.

THis book was OK. A week after I rec'd it I made 4 trades buying / selling 4 different ETF's- each one only held 1 to 4 days and made close to $1000. The book is a good primer, but be careful INVESTING in ETF' in this volatile market. SHort term - and I mean short term TRADING is probably better.The book was written before all of the current financial mess and bailouts. You can no longer assume anything when it comes to the financial markets. Good Luck.

Decent book and nice introduction into the world of ETF's. I personally miss a way to get invested when the market heads south. "How to rebalance your portfolio and enter short-funds?" All the constructed an suggested portfolio's have an optimistic and LONG-SIDE vision on the stock market.
AN INTERESTING BOOK ON ETFs September 2, 2008

I would purchase Richard Ferri's book over this one, but, if money is no object buy both of them (I did!). I would add Richard Ferri's book on Asset Allocation.
