Morningstar Guide to Mutual Funds (PDF)

Praise for Morningstar Guide to Mutual Funds

"Picking actively managed mutual funds is no mean challenge. And as
the recent era underscores, past performance is of little help. The
Morningstar Guide to Mutual Funds helps cut through the fog with a
solid volume of constructive advice. The central message-'truly
diversify, keep it simple, focus on costs, and stick with it'-is
not only timeless, it is priceless."

-John C. Bogle, founder and former CEO, The Vanguard Group

"There's nothing Morningstar doesn't know about mutual funds. And
at last, for ready reference, there's a book. You'll find
everything here you need to know about managing fund investments,
inside or outside a 401(k)."

-Jane Bryant Quinn, Newsweek columnist and author of Making the
Most of Your Money

"All serious mutual fund investors know that Morningstar is the
source of impeccable data and sound investment advice. This book is
the culmination of nearly two decades of research, analysis, and
good old commonsense wisdom."

-Tyler Mathisen, financial journalist, CNBC

"Momentum investing, the hype in NASDAQ, the dot-com mania are
mostly behind us. Now, we must navigate through the market debris.
We need a compass as we look to allocate our financial resources in
a way best suited to maintain purchasing power and fully fund
retirement. The Morningstar Guide will help investors find true
north and steer a course to reach their long-term financial
goals."

-Mario J. Gabelli, Chief Investment Officer

Gabelli Asset Management, a publicly traded company

"A generation of investors who took the stock market for granted
now know how important it is to understand-and control-their own
investments. The Morningstar Guide should be their most important
resource."

-Terry Savage, Chicago Sun-Times financial columnist and author of
The Savage Truth on Money
