Exchange-Traded Funds for Dummies, 3ed

I bought this to help me better understand the complex world of etf investing. Some information is available on internet but it's scattered all over the place. Great book for beginners. Easy reading.

I am an index mutual fund investor but get a sense that ETFs may be the way to go in the future. After reading various articles in magazines and the like I still did not feel comfortable to invest in ETFs. After reading the various reviews about this book, I took a chance and purchased it. Like others before, I found this book very informative, even if it is somewhat dated. I actually read the whole thing and gained enough knowledge about ETFs. It was sufficient to make the decision that ETFs investments may present too many problems for me, especially when it comes to dealing with adjusted cost base and providing accurate tax related info to CRA.

Very good book. Explains easily. Not a lot of people know about ETFs and the ETF portfolio is easy to manage and cheap. I also use canadiancouchpotato site which contains a lots of advices.

The popularity of ETFs in the past 5 years has exploded. If you want to learn the basics of what they are, how they work and what role they play in your investment strategy, this is a great book. While it was written in 2013 and could use a few updates, it still is a great way to get educated on ETFs which should be a part of everyone's investment portfolio.

Just what you need to become a Canadian couch potato
