Handbook of wealth management.

The Handbook of Wealth Management is intended primarily as a practical guide. But it's packed with ideas and theories that are sure to broaden the reader's curiosity and overall understanding of investment concepts and techniques. As no other book has done before, it covers the entire spectrum of investment, port folio and real estate planning, timing, selection, and management. It explores and answers-such questions as:
-How do you evaluate the volatility and risk of a potential stock investment?
-What are the advantages and draw backs of basing a timing decision on a stock market indicator?
-Are there advantages to investing in commercial rather than residential real estate?
-Why is it sometimes wisest to invest in such "offbeat" commodities as rare coins, art, antiques, or whiskey?
-How does an investor best assess expected return on commodities as opposed to stocks or bonds?
-What are the risks of a specific in vestment, considering its tax advantages and capital gain potential?
-Is there a way to make sure your estate goes to the heirs you selected and not to the government?
Each investment, the authors note, has benefits and disadvantages which, when balanced, might make it perfect for one investor, perilous for another. Whether you're an experienced professional money manager, an estate planner, or an individual investor, the Handbook of Wealth Management is sure to be a stimulating, informative, and profitable addition to your library.
