Julie Stav writes investment books which explain in layman terms the complexities of different types of investments. Get Your Share : The Everyday Woman’s Guide to Striking It Rich in the Stock Market and other titles have gotten very positive reviews on Amazon.com, mainly focusing on how her books explain using everyday examples, but not in a condescending way. Julie Stav seems to have hit on the right mix of investment advice and down to earth explanations so people can understand what to do with their money.

This is one subject we recommend everyone research and understand even if your money is being managed in a mutual fund or by some financial advisor. Most investment experts know what they are doing, but lack the communication skills to explain to the public the different types of investments in a practical way we can relate to. Julie Stav’s story is literally rags to riches due to investment savvy, but why she stands apart from those financial news channel anchors telling us what’s going on without explaining it, is her ability to translate financial concepts into descriptions the person without an MBA can easily grasp.
