THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO INVESTING DURING RETIREMENT
(256 pages, $12.95 softcover, 2009, ISBN 978-1-59869-455-0) by Thomas Maskell, published by Adams Media.

The Dow has not done well in the recent past, making Americans uneasy about investing — especially those close to retirement. The author, a Stocks & Commodities contributor, feels that now is the best time for older Americans with little to no retirement savings to invest. This book provides vital stock, investing, and trading information for readers ready to join the stock market later in the game. Historically, riding out market downturns proves fruitful in the long run. The chance for a retiree to succeed in the stock market — especially one who has not been in it — is enhanced, not diminished, by a market collapse. This guide provides readers with the knowledge and confidence needed to get maximum returns from investments. Readers can take their financial future into their hands and focus on enjoying retirement, rather than affording it. .
