Customer Review: Brain Surgeon
Once of these individuals is employed as a reporter with the Wall Street Journal. Unless there is information to the contrary, Ms Greene has no expertise in the field therefore the attempt to compile such a book is a shot in the dark and the opinion very likely should not be considered serious or relied on. Next time perhaps she will write about brain surgery. Would take advice from a person who had no training in the field of medicine if your life depended upon it? For a retiree whose life does depend on their ability to earn greater than inflation but who would need assurance if the market when completely south should be weary of taking advice from a novice. As a Certified Estate Planner it takes many years to achieve the knowledge needed to give such advice. I think I will write a book on how to build a guided missile but hope that no one takes me seriously.

Customer Review: Ecologically speaking, a WASTE of good trees!
Ecologically speaking, this book was a waste of good trees. I’m only sorry Amazon doesn’t have a zero stars category. I begrudgingly had to give this book a 1 star rating! I would retitle it “Too Big To Flush”! Do not buy it and do not waste your valuable time reading it. These reporters for The Wall Street Journal don’t have a clue about what they write. It is clear they are pushing an agenda but it isn’t in YOUR best interest. The only ones enjoying the advice given here are the authors, Kelly Greene and Glen Ruffenach, who are laughing at us all the way to the bank while the vulnerable public gets long term screwed by their misleading advice. I have read all the reviews and I feel sorry for the poor duped people that gave this book a positive review. My advice is stick with advice from proven experts: Gregory Baer & Gary Gensler, Suze Orman, Arthur Levitt, Charles Gasparino, to name just a few! Most of what I found here was bad advice.
