Making Money - Alan Kohler

From the founder of Eureka Report, one of Australia's most experienced commentators, journalists, and prominent finance presenter on ABC, comes a new book, "Making Money" that brings to readers a wealth of information about investing and understanding the financial issues in the broadest sense.

Using his clear, explanatory language and with the assistance of other experts including James Kirby, Trish Powers and Mark Armstrong, Alan will run you through the first principles of finance and investing; the Stockmarket - looking at specific stocks and companies; asset allocation; cash and fixed interests as well as managed funds are discussed.

With the advent of choice in super, a number of chapters are devoted to the basics of superannuation and DIY super. Or would you be better off investing all your hard-earned funds in real estate? With the help of the crew at The Eureka Report you will learn how to get finance for all your investment strategies.

If the traditional investments are not for you, there is a chapter on alternative investments. With only small discretionary funds you can still begin your journey as an independent investor.

Review sent to us by Zdenko Simonic, CEO of SuperEasy.com.au:

"Making Money" - Alan Kohler's new book, is a guide for the independent investor, covering from principals of investing to unveiling the secrets of how and why to build investment portfolios.

From the book's Introduction page: "This is a book for a revolution - the astounding investment revolution that has taken place in Australia over the past two decades. These days just about everybody is an investor. Everybody now has money in super, owns a few Telstra shares or has a unit to rent. That's who this book is written for: everybody. You don't have to be a financial whiz to read it, and you certainly don't have to be rich."

The timing of the book is impeccable, with the introduction of "Super Choice", a revolution in itself that has exposed and forever altered the superannuation scene in Australia. It also coincides with the collapse and fragility of a number of national and multinational corporate giants, energy prices out of control, inefficiency of corporate auditors and watchdogs, and overall political and economical instability.

In his well known idiosyncratic manner, Kohler and his team of experts present investing issues in an easy to understand and user-friendly language. They take you on a journey into the world of investments covering basic of shares and stockmarket, asset allocation, managed funds and investment property. Kohler approaches its audience with respect, without preaching and "ex cathedra" approach, often adopted by other financial writers.

To all of us who at times are lost and disillusioned with the financial write ups that are biased and without substance, the book gives powerful and meaningful tools with the aim of utilising our own assets to the full potential.

"Making Money" is aimed at investors wanting to become fully independent, making informed decisions and taking responsibility for their own investments.

o        Stock Market,
o        Superannuation,
o        Property,
