Being the owner of a privately owned corporation, I have many questions regarding the taxation of shareholder distributions. This book consisely explains how various situations are handled. If you don't understand the explanation, the examples clearly drive the point.

I learned about the great variety of financial instruments that I never knew existed.

The examples are entertaining which helps in understanding the topics discussed.

Get this money pro's sound advice on buying life insurance, paying for college, financing your retirement, choosing a financial planner, and avoiding investor pitfalls.

As an attorney-at-law, I found that "Advising Mature Clients" by Dr. Neal E. Cutler has given me a new perspective on analyzing, and on advising older clients about, the increasingly complex series of decisions we all seem to face as we age.

On a personal level, I found the book to be filled with information that is easy to understand and is well-indexed for use by the advisor as well as by those whom he/she advises. Its multi-disciplinary focus gives one an easy depth of understanding of the breadth of Gernontology, and financial & social issues that need to be considered, in just a few hours of study of the clear, concise tables, facts, and figures, which are presented in logical fashion.

The chapter on costs and financial benefits of Long Term Care Insurance alone is worth the price of the book. Strategies and alternatives to pay for Long Term Care Insurance are set forth, along with the sobering financial burden long term care imposes, and the alarming rate of increase in long term care costs, compared to the more affordable insurance premiums.

This book should be kept as a desk reference and ready authoritative source of information, to share with clients who have questions or concerns on any aspect of the topics of Wealth Span Planning and Financial Gerontology.

Supepr book...looks into the future and gives a clear idea of what our profession will look like. Especially with regards to compensation and independtent work.

Recently, Adam Posen (an influential US monetary economist)has written some really good stuff on Japan's economic problems. It was his name on the cover that persuaded me to buy this book.

If you want a rich and in depth - in some parts academic - account of why Japan is struggling then this is for you. There are four themes...1) the origin of Japan's banking problems 2)comparisons of Japan's banking problems and the US S&L crisis 3) political problems faced by those who wish to see the BOJ adopting very loose money and 4) how the BOJ's monetary policy can be adapted to these exceptional circumstances and used to promote a sustainable recovery.

If you read this and Posen's previous books on Japan you'll be well equipped to understand what is wrong with the world's second largest economy. The only weak area is the treatment of fiscal matters. Those are largely ignored, even though fears of government bankrupcty weigh heavily on the financial markets.

Everyone should read this book!Now!It's the best book ever!It helped me through all of my financial problems.Buy it right now! I said NOW!Thank you for reading my input on this book{It's the truth!}

If ever there was an un-putdownable book in financial management, this is it.

The author has extremely clear fundamentals, and makes it very easy to follow his logic every step of the way.

The introductory chapters on accounting are the best I have come across. The industry benchmarks are extremely useful. It would be great if we had a newer edition, with updated benchmarks, and a more industry-specific break up (e.g. software)

This book is a must-have for MBAs, under-grads, managers, small business owners, and just about anyone who needs to analyze ratios.

In any case, I'm revising the book right now. And I would welcome any comments. Warren Boroson

This is a superb book on financial planning. Lots of useful information. Includes a helpful corresponding Web site.

"Knowledge Management", "Intellectual Capital", "Organizational Learning" and similar concepts all aim to help managers create more competitive success and shareholder value through better use of their firm's intangible assets (e.g., individual and collective knowledge, be it explicit or tacit). In spite of the intuitive appeal of these ideas, in too many organizations managers have a hard time applying them practically and measuring their results. This book directly addresses these issues in a manner that is both accessible and practical. To be sure, many more articles and books will be written on this subject; this one, however, should stand the test of time because of its usefulness to managers who actually have to implement these ideas and live with their results.
