It was worth buying and reading. You should be able to achieve your goals and target your objectives properly with this book.

If you also purchased "All about stocks" you will notice that bonds have a bit more complexity to them. Regardless, the 401(k) is the new breed of retirement fund, which means, whether you like it or not, your have to play the market, likely by having to pick out some given mutual fund portfolio composed of stocks, BONDS and cash. The material covered in this book covers the minimum you need to know about stocks and the stock market. Given that it is ultimately your money and your responsibility to manage your present and projected finances, I'd invest in this book.
