Introduction Mutual Funds For Dummies 6th Edition
Whether you're a regular reader of investing books or this is your first,
Mutual Funds For Dummies, 6th Edition, which is completely revised
and updated, provides practical and profitable techniques of mutual fund
investing that you can put to work now and for many years to come.
Mutual funds aren't literally for dummies — in fact, they're a wise investment
choice for people from all walks of life. Mutual funds are investment companies
that combine your money with that from man y other people to create a large
pool of assets that can be invested in stocks, bonds, or other securities.
Because your assets are part of a much larger whole, the best mutual funds
enable you to invest in securities that give you low-cost access to leading
professional money managers.
With the best money managers investing your nest egg in top-flight investments
that match your financial goals, you can spend your time doing the activities
in life that you enjoy and are best at. Mutual funds should improve your
investment returns as well as your social life!
I practice what I preach. All my investments that I've devoted to securities
(stocks and bonds) are invested through funds. Why? For the simple reason
that I'm confident the best fund managers that I recommend in this book can
do a superior job (higher returns, less cost) than I could by researching and
selecting individual stocks and bonds on my own.
I've enjoyed successf ully investing in mutual funds for more than 25 years.
As a financial counselor, writer, and lecturer, I've helped investors make
informed investing decisions with mutual funds as part of comprehensive
personal financial management. So I know the questions and challenges
that you face when you invest in funds. I wrote this book to answer, in plain
English, your fund-investing questions.

It's beefier and more capable than a compact digital camera. The digital SLR has interchangeable lenses, and it looks like a professional camera. It has a reputation for being intimidating. For this reason, many people prefer to use a mild-mannered compact digital camera that has as few buttons as possible. I used to be one of these people. When I made the transition from digital compact to digital SLR, I was surprised at how much happier I was — happier with my camera and happier with my pictures. My wife and I used to take pictures with compact digital cameras and thought they were good. We have thousands of photos to show for it. When we got our first digital SLR, we were blown away. The pictures we both took with our entry-level Sony Alpha 300 were that much better than any compact we had ever used. And, that was when we were just starting out. In fact, it was a few months later before I even tried taking the camera off Auto exposure mode. The pictures we took with our dSLR had less noise and were clearer, sharper, and more colorful. We found ourselves saying "Wow." You too can be a happier photographer. The task doesn't have to be super difficult or intimidating. Digital SLRs aren't meant just for professionals (although they use dSLRS for many good reasons). If you can drive a car, use an iPod, or operate a modern washing machine, you have what it takes to shoot great photos with a dSLR.

If you are reading this, chances are good that your company is already taking advantage of virtualization's benefits. Virtualization means that a single underlying piece of hardware, such as a server, runs multiple guest operating systems to create virtual machines, or VMs, with each of them being oblivious to the others. An administrative application, such as VMware, manages the sharing process, allocating hardware resources, memory, and CPU time to each VM as needed. And all applications look at this software construct exactly as if it were a real, physical server — even the VM thinks it's a real server! Virtualization makes good financial sense. It enables a single server to offer multiple capabilities that otherwise would require separate servers. It includes native high availability features so you don't have to use any more complex clustering tools. This ability to combine capabilities means that you spend less money on server hardware and much less time providing IT support, systems administration and maintenance.

Si se encuentra en alguna empresa o sector industrial, ya sea público o privado, es casi seguro que habrá oído hablar del movimiento hacia el proceso, o de cuestiones como gestión de procesos o mejora de los procesos. Puede que sepa acerca de métodos de mejora de los procesos como Six Sigma o acerca de nuevas tecnologías como Business Activity Monitoring (BAM), supervisión de la actividad de negocio, o Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), la arquitectura orientada a servicios. BPM representa la culminación de la experiencia, pensamiento y desarrollo profesional de todo un colectivo en la gestión empresarial durante las pasadas décadas. Coloca al cliente en primer lugar. Se centra en el negocio. Faculta a los individuos de cualquier rincón de una empresa para alcanzar un mayor éxito. Reúne a personas y sistemas. BPM es donde se condensan todas las elevadas ambiciones y mejores estrategias. Junte todo esto y obtendrá una mezcla que puede parecerle bastante confusa. Pero en realidad, BPM es un concepto muy sencillo. Es un conjunto de métodos, herramientas y tecnologías utilizados para diseñar, representar, analizar y controlar procesos de negocio operacionales; un enfoque centrado en los procesos para mejorar el rendimiento que combina las tecnologías de la información con metodologías de proceso y gobierno.

With globalization and technology as the driving forces, we find ourselves getting in closer and closer contact with more and more people. As a result, knowing how to say at least a few words in a language such as German is becoming an ever-more-vital tool. Our natural curiosity to find out about other cultures motivates us to hop on a plane and find out firsthand what everyday life is like in the Germanspeaking regions: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, South Tyrol in northern Italy, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein. Conducting international business in an increasingly competitive market necessitates personal contact; hence, more businesspeople are traveling overseas to countries like Germany, which has the largest economy in the European Union. On a more personal level, you may have friends, relatives, and neighbors who speak German, or you may want to get in touch with your heritage by learning a little bit of the language that your ancestors spoke. Whatever your reasons for wanting to learn some German, German For Dummies, 2nd Edition, is a terrific choice because it gives you the skills you need for basic communication in German. We're not promising super fluency here, but if you want to know how to greet someone, purchase a train ticket, or order food from a menu in German, you need look no further than this book.
