Broken down into short chapters and written in an
easy-to-understand style, this financial guide is a compilation of
Upton's favorite columns written over the course of thirty years.
You'll read about free enterprise and capitalism, see how taxes
affect different investments, and travel through Europe to compare
socialism and capitalism. You'll even learn simple techniques to
make a retirement fund last, often factually and amusingly
explained by Upton's "stubby-pencil" economist, Buster Boom.
Enjoyable, entertaining, and educational.
"As a practitioner and as a widely-read columnist, Upton brings
a wealth of personal experience to his task. His knowledge of the
financial world and his ability to communicate simply and clearly
make this an important book for those who take investing
seriously."
-John W. Bachmann, senior partner, Edward Jones
"Bob Upton explains the basics of building wealth. At Louisiana
College, he was a favorite with students. He taught time-tested
fundamentals. Bob's insight and experience help investors assume
greater responsibility for their financial security."
-Roger W. Best, Ph.D. professor emeritus, Louisiana College; dean
and provost retired, Northwestern State University of Louisiana
"BARRON'S" reviewed his earlier book, "Mutual Fund Magic":
"Upton does an admirable job of explaining investment principles in
easy-to-understand language." (August 13, 1990)
