Return on investment not good

Disclaimers:  I don't know the authors;  I do not have any financial stake in the book;  I did buy it from Amazon.  That's one of the problems--the high price.  For $84.72, I am expecting something new in presentation, content or organization.  This book did not deliver to me.  I am not sure who it would be useful to.  At 386 pages it is too long for executives.  On the other hand the material is too basic to be read by a security professional who is presenting to executives.  It appears that both authors, while having distinguished careers, have not had much experience establishing security programs in the private sector.  If you are looking for a book of this type, I can recommend  "Enterprise Security for the Executive", by Jennifer Bayuk.

Waste of money.  Put what you would spend on this coverage and put it into a savings account for 2 years and only spend it if whatever you are covering breaks outside of the 1-year manufacturer's warranty.  Chances are you'll never spend that money because most major electronics will last longer than the coverage period.

The returns are not easy to do , you have to pay for your own returns and this makes things more difficult. Also the sizing is difficult to figured out.

This would work if you really start early but it is unrealistic expectation to get a 10% return without extreme risk in this scary market.

This book gave examples that can be very misleading and unsuccessful. I know this book was not a good investment for me. :-(

Turbo Tax does not include a state return as in past years.  Then to turn around and charge an additional $40 is outrageous.  I have to look into another tax software for next year!!

I have tried to follow the aggressive growth investment strategies of Mr. Richards, but I have lost a great deal of money during this period. I appreciated the writing style and the content of the book which left both  enthused and looking forward to boosting the value of my portfolio.  Unfortunately, I think that Mr. Richard's premise that "the trend is  your friend" is specious and misleading, because sometimes the trend  is not your friend. I think perhaps I will attempt to adopt a less  aggressive approach, and may try the 'value investing' approach of a Mr.  Warren Buffet, whose company Berkshire Investments attempts to follow this  approach, although they have lost a lot of money recently. Or maybe I will  just try some treasury bonds, or maybe try nothing at all, or try  gardening.

I paid aprox $26.00 for something that's only worth $8.00!  Its a little bit to much I can see paying $18.00 for it, $5.00 for shipping and $5.00 of gain for the seller whos investing, but $26.00 is way to much.

Many people reading this book may already be invested in the stock market or in precious metals. I will begin by saying, I am not a financial expert and you should consult your licensed financial adviser prior to making investment decisions.

If you believe an economic collapse is coming due to unsustainable debt and money printing this book outlines alternative investments. Ultimately it is up to you to decide how and how much you should invest but inflation over time will erode the purchasing power of the dollar and it is wise to look for alternative investment vehicles.

Most precious metal experts will advise you to buy physical gold or silver as opposed to ETF's or Mutual Funds with the exception being in gold and silver mining stocks such as the ETF (GDX and/or GDXJ) which are believed to be historically undervalued (as of today Dec 2015)

Other ways to invest during a global economic collapse is to purchase commodity ETF's such as USO (Oil) or DBC (Broad basket commodities) or to buy real estate with cash after the wave of foreclosures hit and housing values plummet.

Physical Silver is believed by many to be by far one of the greatest investment opportunities of the century. It is currently under $20 dollars and is believed by many metals experts to go well over $100 dollars.

What goes up must come down. But if you believe investments that have gone down heavily such as oil, gold, silver and miners must come up. Then we all must prepare for what's ahead because the upside could be very high indeed.

The book is written for people new to the whole issue of building to maximise income (they call it maximise 'Return on Investment' but it's just a fancy way of saying, "Make More Money".

Remember this a very basic stuff. If you have already delved into this type of material move on.

This is very bad investment I have made in this year. My wife was hesitant while I was buying this futon. I would have listen to her. My first experience itself worse and I felt like sitting on a wooden table. As time passes, I saw big dent on it and useless now. Never ever buy this futon sofa and don't fall in the trap by watching video. I spent nearly $200 and its complete waste now. Used not more than 5 months.

Any book that costs 10 bucks and can make you money is a good investment.  This is one of those books.  If you're a serious investor or speculator and don't spend 10 bucks and the 2 hours necessary to read this shame on you.

Outdated investing information is worse than no information at all.  Don't take any 'data' in this book at face value.
I was really disappointed in the small number of small investments in the book.
I have a more 'holistic' investment perspective, but I know of a lot more small investments;
Pay off high interest debt!!
A shopping warehouse membership.
A freezer.
A 'cushion' in the checking account to keep any checks from bouncing.  It can also reduce the fees for a double dividend!
Regular maintenance of vehicles and major appliances.
Energy efficient lights.
Water heater blanket.
Pre-pay phone cards.
Continuing education classes.
A consultaion with a Certified Financial Planner.

I learned about tax liens from the Rich Dad series and when I read some of the information provided in this book, the 50% returns clearly shows that it is just part of the hype.  Really you won't get up to 50% returns, with the industry average hovering around 8-9%.  To the book's credit, it does state that you "could" go up to 50% or more not necessarily that you will.

After reading so many comments of this TV being defective after about 3 weeks, I decided to return mine last night. I had this televesion for about two and a half weeks without a problem. However, I did not want to take the chance, especially when consumers have stated that this product fails around the 3 week/30 day mark. Besides, the TV would have been out of warranty in a year anyway. I am now $530 richer and don't have to fear my investment in a television being a waste. I will wait for my tax return before deciding to invest in another, RELIABLE hdtv. I would suggest not purchasing this HDTV.

Go to ebay where he has sold options systems for there for a while. I purchased an option system from him. He claimed high returns. No proof. No back test. I asked for further information. He would not provide any. I backtested the system. At best it was mediocore. I could not and would not buy from him again.

I tried to save some money by purchasing this lower cost, after market part.  Other reviews were quite positive so I did not include my time investment as a consideration in the decision.  In this case I made a mistake.  It was a difficult part to change, it took me a little over an hour using a trick (found on youtube) to squeeze the harness out without removing the entire radiator.  The part ran good for the first month and a half (surpassing the 30 day return period so the $50 is a loss now).  It is now making excessive noise when it comes on and in some cases it feels like something is wrong with the car because the sound gets so loud.  It almost pulsates in the revs as they quickly seem to increase and decrease in speed.  I'm going to have to order an OEM part at this point and spend another hour of my time replacing the part again.  I should have considered my time investment up front and then I would not have taken the savings risk on this one.
