A Wheaton-based financial planner is among the contributors to a new book meant to help individual investors cope with the current turmoil in the nation’s financial markets.
Bill Keffer, Keffer Financial Planning (Wheaton), has written two chapters for Investing in an Uncertain Economy for Dummies.
The book, published in late 2008 by Wiley Publishing Inc., is a practical guide providing strategies to help individuals meet their short- and long-term financial goals during troubled economic times.
Keffer’s contributions include:
¨ “Investments for Beginning Investors” – Chapter 57
¨ “Minimize Your Portfolio Risk” – Chapter 69
All of the book’s contributors belong to the Garrett Planning Network, an international network of fee-only, financial advisors whose members wrote the book as a collaborative effort. The lead editor, Sheryl Garrett, has written several books on financial topics and is a widely interviewed and quoted expert on financial planning.
