Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
All ABout Exchange Traded Funds
Archie Richards · 2002
54/100
👎 Skip It
Archie Richards was a genuinely credentialed financial planner, and the core mechanics he explains about how ETFs work still apply. But this is a 2002 book about a market that's exploded since then, so the actual fund examples and landscape are badly out of date.
