• Wild About Russell!
17 November, 2009
"Exchange Traded Funds for Dummies" is the best book I've ever read on the subject. Russell Wild writes about this complicated topic simply, clearly and with a "bucket" load of humor (my lame attempt here at financial wit!).
His book makes learning the ins and outs of ETF's enjoyable and fun. Mr. Wild has a wonderful talent in being able to engage the reader in such a way as to make finances seem, well, interesting! I'm so much more knowledgeable on the subject now and have gained a sense of confidence and understanding that I didn't have before.

• Solid Read
05 February, 2008
PROS
- enjoyable writing style, easy read.
- author's knowledge.
- author provides specific reviews of many ETFs.
- much additional information on financial management, beyond ETFs.
CONS
- the author carefully builds a solid case for buying ETFs, but does not adequately address why someone would buy an EFT over a low cost index fund held in a retirement account.
- for some readers (like me), there needs to be more technical discussion of how ETFs are structured and how they operate, as opposed to describing ETFs merely by their benefits and roles in a portfolio.
- the author's case for ETFs does not address one serious drawback of ETFs: difficulty of conducting automatic dollar cost averaging (DCA); of course, this is possible to do transaction-fee-free (or nearly so) at some brokerages, but ETFs require trading commissions and you have to conduct DCA yourself, as brokerage typically will not buy stocks (or ETFs) on an automatic schedule.

• A Note To Mr. Wild
28 December, 2009
I am thoroughly enjoying reading your ETFs for Dummies book, and have delved into Index Investing for Dummies to a lesser extent. You have made investing in ETFs easy for me to understand -and anything but boring- and I feel much more secure about making some upcoming investment choices because of that. Thank you! I also really enjoy the way you write and your sense of humor.
