Summary
  • "In 1998, Don Nichols returned regularly to Iowa from his life and job in Washington, D.C., to be with his dying father and to oversee his parents' investments. A veteran investor and investment author, Nichols found that managing the portfolio entrusted to him brought a larger understanding of mortality, family, love, work, and the choices he had made as "an agri-kid who took the road out of town and kept going." In this insightful and money-wise book that grew out of that experience, he merges the emotions of a dutiful son with the actions of a knowledgeable investor."
  • "Nichols uses money in myriad forms - a grandfather's silver dollar, stocks and bonds, salaries, pallets of coins at the U.S. mint, on-the-job dealings with coin collectors - as touchstones for reflections on relationships, motives, and a career "like one of those moving walkways in airports.""--Jacket.
