Review by Michael Pellecchia
Teacher and portfolio manager Susan Laubach has come up with a well-executed approach to teaching investing basics in the form of a novel. The Whole Kitt & Caboodle follows the lead character, Missy Kitt, from the beginning of her career as a stockbroker. The reader follows along as she learns and then listens in as she dispenses advice to others. An amazing amount of information is communicated this way.
Laubach surveys the retail investment industry as it stands today with its various advisers and products, defining and discussing annual reports, investment strategies, and retirement plans. Coming from the fictional Miss Kitt, this fairly comprehensive survey is painless and at times entertaining.
