Reviews :

    The great bull market storms on, and the odds are good that you fall into one of two camps. Maybe you've been investing frequently and would benefit by having investment tools to manage your additional money. Alternately, maybe your finances are a disaster of record keeping and you need to get things into shape in order to start investing. Quicken 98 Deluxe can benefit both kinds of people, and this book can help you get the most out of Quicken.

Organized around a weekend, this guide schedules certain lessons for Saturday morning, others for Saturday night, and so on. Since it seems improbable that anyone will spend every minute of a weekend exploring Quicken, this organizational structure has little practical utility. Still, the authors--one of whom is a certified public accountant--present a complete documentation of Quicken Deluxe 98 in these pages, and the book is valuable for that reason.

They begin by explaining the oldest feature of Quicken--the checkbook. After getting into computer-generated checks and online banking (some of the program's least-used features), the authors explain investment accounts. Quicken does a poor job of accounting for things such as options and warrants, shortcomings of the program that are certainly not the authors' faults. However, the reader would benefit from the inclusion of "work-around" ways to record more exotic transactions in terms Quicken can understand. Before wrapping up with an exposition of Quicken's planning tools, the authors explore reports, charts and graphs, and the tools Quicken provides for tax planning.

Quicken is generally intuitive, but it has some sticky parts. This book stands as a fine resource to help you through the obstacles....

    It's now possible to keep track of balances on bank accounts and credit cards, create a budget and learn how to use it, track potential investments, project income tax, and plan for retirement, all with one simple program. This book offers much more than typical "how-to-use-the-software" books: in addition to learning the best-selling Quicken 98 software, readers of this unique book will lay the groundwork for sound financial planning....
