Praise for Coach Yourself to Success

"Knowing how to make money and hold onto your money has never been easy. Joe's strategies are clear, accessible, and performance based. Joe, thanks for taking the mystery out of investing."
--Maria Bartiromo, host and managing editor of the nationally syndicated program the Wall Street Journal Report with Maria Bartiromo and CNBC's Closing Bell.

"Leave it to Joe to look out for the rest of us Joes and Joannes. Practical. Useful. Meaningful. The man who democratized trading has now leveled the playing field."
--Neil Cavuto, Vice President of FOX News Channel, host of Your World with Neil Cavuto and author of the New York Times bestseller, More than Money

"Joe Moglia has provided a coach's playbook for everyone. This is an invaluable tool for executing the right investing moves to win the game!"
--Bill Bolster, former CEO CNBC, CNBC Intl.

"If there is a parallel between football and investing, it is that to be successful you have to stick to the fundamentals. 'Coach' Joe Moglia lays out the fundamentals for you in a concise, straightforward manner. Read it and win."
--Vince Lombardi, Jr.

"Coach Joe Moglia knows the game and knows it well. His clearly written book is indispensable for the novice and great fun for the knowledgeable."
--Bob Kerrey, President, New School University

"As the president of Ameritrade, Joe Moglia revolutionized online trading, making individual investors successful as never before. In Coach Yourself to Success, Moglia's insights give individual investors a new and powerful tool to achieve their financial objectives."
--Roger McNamee, cofounder of Elevation Partners, Silver Lake Partners, and Integral Capital Partners, and author of The New Normal

Summary: disappointment
Rating: 1

I have read a little of the book and find Mr. Moglia writes well but the truth is that Ameritrade's business practices leave a lot to be desired given my experience with them.
Ameritrade holds little value in the individual customer.
Coaching football and being a CEO are not the same. You can be mean to your players but you need to treat your investors with respect.

Summary: Too Many Football Analogies
Rating: 3

Moglia's approach to the topic is very well thought out. He covers all the angles of investing in the markets. However, the football analogies are overdone and unnecessary. His credentials and his exposition should be based on what he has done in the business world, not on what he did on a football field.

Summary: The Singing CPA gives this book a thumbs up!
Rating: 5

This book is packed with important information for new investors from one of the most respected people in the investment world. I have recommended this book to many of my clients who are sports fanatics and they found it to be useful, practical and engaging. The "Game Plan" page at the end of each chapter reviews the main points and the glossary serves as a quick and easy reference.

Summary: A good primer for new investors or those who want to learn more
Rating: 4

The book is about becoming successful in investing and Moglia uses sports analogies to explain concepts that are complicated or a puzzlement to people like me.

The introduction keeps my attention, so I think I'm in for a good ride. After seeing the Game Plan page at the end of each chapter, I start reading the bulleted list first because it reviews the main points of the chapter and lets me know what to expect in the chapter.

The handy glossary provides useful for the novice who may not be familiar with the terms used in the book and in the investment world. As always when reading any book offering financial advice, the reader must remember that the judgments offered are the author's and others might disagree with some of the concepts.

Coach Yourself to Success is a great primer for new investors or those who have little or no knowledge about investments. It also provides good brush-up text for more experienced investors who may want or need to analyze their portfolios. As the author explains, you should continuously keep up and change your allocations as circumstances dictate. The writing is clear, the concepts simple and the advice down-to-earth and basic. Most individual investors will find the book a practical resource.

Summary: A great book for beginner investors
Rating: 4

I think this book is a wonderful tool for people who are interested in investing their money but don't understand their options, especially 20-somethings. It explains the different type of investments out there along with pros and cons of each. This book makes investing less intimidating and even provides resources to help you get started. This book was like a pep talk for me - it provided instructions, clear explanations and encouragment. Towards the end of the book you get the feeling that this is just a marketing tool to drive you towards Ameritrade/Amerivest products. That said, by no means should this be the only book you read, but it's a great starting point.
