The ABCs of Mutual Funds & The ABCs of IPOs

by Robert Anthony Chechile '60
iUniverse, Inc.

Former aerospace engineer and mechanical engineering professor Bob Chechile made a midlife career change in 1992, when downsizing in the defense industry forced him to leave New England and reinvent himself as a stockbroker for a West Coast regional securities underwriter. He's also trained aspiring stockbrokers and offered adult education courses on investment securities. Now in retirement in Southern California, Chechile shares his knowledge with individual investors to help them avoid the pitfalls of unsuitable investments and unscrupulous stockbrokers. The ABCs of Mutual Funds explains the basics of these “safe haven” investments for risk-averse individuals who want to control their financial destiny and minimize risk. For risk takers seeking high capital appreciation, The ABCs of IPOs offers advice on evaluating new issue offerings and analyzing their potential for success.
