Financial guru and ubiquitous TV personality Suze Orman delivers cogent advice about managing money in her distinctively ebullient style in this PBS program. Addressing an audience and fielding questions, Orman tackles topics such as managing debt, building a stock portfolio, planning for retirement, and obtaining the right kind of insurance. Dispensing such aphorisms as, "It"s not about making more money, it"s about knowing more about the money that you already make," Orman uses humor and gentle confrontation while bantering with the crowd. A benefit to this program is that it was recorded "post-bubble," in late 2001, and Orman uses real examples of audience members whose portfolios were devastated to illustrate how ordinary investors were operating under assumptions that proved to be very wrong. This program won"t turn anyone into an expert investor, but Orman"s straightforward advice would be helpful for someone who wants to do a better job managing his or her own money. --Robert J. McNamara
