You're Fifty Now What? Investing for the Second Half of Your Life

Founder and chairman of a famous international brokerage, Schwab offers sound advice on basic personal finance topics faced by boomers and retirees, including estate planning, retirement cash flow and pension plans. The investing sections target inexperienced investors, with definitions of stocks and zero coupons, and worksheets for retirement budgets and portfolio benchmarks. A useful appendix includes advice on reading mutual fund prospectuses and selecting insurance. Schwab's breezy, non-threatening style and advertising backed by his company should ensure high visibility and bestseller list appearances. (Jan.)
