About the Authors

Michael Grif s became an active trader in the mid 1980s. He rst traded

commodities and precious metals after taking a commodities trading class

as part of his MBA program at Rollins College. He turned his interest in

trading into a profession and became a stockbroker in 1992, where he helped

business and individuals manage investments in stocks, bonds, mutual funds,

retirement plans, 401(k) employee-savings plans, and asset management

programs. Today, he mostly trades stocks and exchange-traded funds for his

own account.

In addition, Michael is an author and business owner and has written about

stock trading for online audiences. Outside of the business and investment

world, he is active in his community and volunteers his time and talents as a

fundraiser for civic and nonpro t organizations.

Lita Epstein, who earned her MBA from Emory University’s Goizueta

Business School, enjoys helping people develop good nancial, investing, and

tax planning skills. She designs and teaches online courses on topics such as

accounting, reading nancial reports, investing for retirement, getting ready

for tax time, and nance and investing for women. She has written more than

20 books, including Bookkeeping For Dummies and Reading Financial Reports

For Dummies, both published by Wiley.

Lita was the content director for a nancial services Web site, MostChoice.

com, and managed the Investing for Women Web site. As a Congressional

press secretary, Lita gained rst-hand knowledge about how to work within

and around the federal bureaucracy, which gives her great insight into how

government programs work. In the past Lita has been a daily newspaper

reporter, magazine editor, and fundraiser for The Carter Presidential Center.

For fun, Lita enjoys scuba diving and is even certi ed as an underwater

photographer. She hikes, canoes, and enjoys sur ng the Web to nd all its

hidden treasures.

Christopher Cottier, BSc, MBA, is a senior investment adviser based in

British Columbia. In 1982 he left the world of banking, where he traded foreign

currencies, to join the investment industry in Vancouver so he could pursue

his love of rugby. More than 25 years later, he’s still managing money and

still playing rugby. With Betty Jane Wylie, Christopher is the coauthor of The

Best Is Yet to Come: Enjoying a Financially Secure Retirement, a pioneering

Canadian book on nancial planning. Christopher has also been the technical

editor for other recent For Canadians For Dummies nancial titles.
