Paul Merriman

I wish more of the terms had been explained, but there were some interesting points. I particularly liked the section on types of mutual funds and how to diversify them.

Written clearly, as concisely as it could be, and with enough details to clearly articulate the important message of allocating your retirement assets. Time spent applying the lessons of this book can bring peace of mind and financial security without spending every waking moment watching CNBC (don't) or analyzing investment dots.

Excellent book by and excellent communicator. Search for his podcasts online (website in his name for example). Clear, simple, and effective.
