Investing In ETFs FD

Great little book. I learned what I needed to know about ETF, s from this book. No need for more literature on the subject.

very well written

Interesting read which gets into quite a good level of detail about an effective way of passively investing to build wealth over the long term. Not 5 stars as all the recommendations are USA based and it is difficult to translate what you learn in this book into investing in the UK.

I'm still half-way through the book but I already regret buying it. It looks like around 75% of the book is about building portfolios instead of discussing what a ETF is and the different facets of ETFs. If there isn't much to discuss about ETFs, well, at least it shouldn't waste my time with boring portfolios, a shorter book would be more appropriate. For me "for dummies" suggests the basics on a particular topic, and yet the book fails to deliver just that.For instance I had to google how often a distributing ETF pays the dividend and where to find that information, because the book wouldn't tell me that. Or, why does it matter so much the annual management fee if an ETF is fast growing anyway? The author seems to have an obsession with the fees which are not much anyway and also absorbed in the price of the ETF.At some point, page 146, the author says that if ones needs to sell a security from a portfolio, then he recommends one that has appreciated. I find that hilarious, I would do the exact opposite. What is the point of shutting down the winners and keeping the losers?
