    WH: I will definitely check out the book you mentioned. It has some good reviews on Amazon.com.

    I am trying to avoid any book that says it can teach people to become a millionaire because they are just so unreal. There are probably millions of such books, but how many millionaires are in this country? I prefer books that teach people fundamentals and let people get better. Though some of the be-a-millionaire kind of books do that as well, I just don’t feel very well about the title.

    You definitely have a point about their titles…I generally avoid “get rich quick” titles as well, but I usually check the book’s reviews on Amazon to decide.

    I used the gift certificate to get “Investing for Dummies,” a copy each for my mom & a friend. My own copy has been checked out from the library for months. Not that you need it, but I’d recommend the book as a great primer to an investing fledgling like myself…thanks again! =)
