Description: Average Americans are finding themselves involuntarily immersed in the world of high finance. Banks, investment firms, and company benefit packages do no more than throw out a life preserver to pull in customers. Customers -- investors -- have to learn to swim on their own. For those who already know a little about their personal finances, managing them is getting more complicated, particularly as retirement plans increasingly require employees to make their own investment decisions. Teach Yourself Investing in 24 Hours gives beginner investors the knowledge they need to understand documentation and investing concepts -- from key terms to complicated interest bearing accounts. Using 24 lessons that can be covered in about an hour, this book helps readers understand the basic concepts of financial planning including returns, goals, and savings, and explains the most popular investing mediums today such as mutual funds and the stock market. With coverage of retirement planning and long-term strategies, this book also covers low-risk strategies and tax-related investing. The book will also touch on more advanced topics such as daytrading and Internet stocks and give readers enough information to pursue more information on their interests and needs.
