About this title

Review

"This is the best retirement planning book I have ever read."--David Bach, author of the Finish Rich Book Series

"Once again Ric Edelman has told investors the truth. Whether it's how to select an appropriate portfolio, invest for college, or recognize practices that are not in the investor's best interest, Ric arms investors with information they can use to make wise investment decisions and protect their assets. And he does it with wit and enthusiasm. Read The Lies About Money. You won't be disappointed."

--Don M. Blandin, president and CEO, Investor Protection Trust

"This is a thriller, a real page-turner! Imagine one of America's biggest, most successful financial advisors sells all his own retail mutual funds. Why? I couldn't put it down, had to find out more! If I sell mine, then what? You'll love Ric's solution. The Lies About Money is a must-read thriller...if you want to retire rich!"

--Paul B. Farrell, JD, PhD, columnist, DowJones/ MarketWatch and author of The Lazy Person's Guide to Investing, The Millionaire Meditation, and Zen Millionaire

"Just when you thought the financial waters were safe, Ric Edelman shows that the mutual fund industry is like a shark waiting to be fed, and why you should be afraid, very afraid. But after reading The Lies About Money, you won't have to be afraid anymore."

--Donald J. Farish, president, Rowan University

His thought-provoking ideas are a refreshing challenge to conventional thinking, and you owe it to yourself to read The Lies About Money."

Richard J. Koreto, editor in chief, Wealth Manager magazine
