NARRATOR
Nick Summers is a veteran voice performer, having practiced the craft for three decades. Having lived in places as diverse as Paris, France and a windswept island off the coast of Maine, he now makes his home in Los Angeles where he's an active voiceover artist, radio personality and radio writer. He wishes The Lazy Person's Guide To Investing had been published when he was 22.

REVIEWS
Publishers Weekly
"Packed with clear examples of how regular people can easily handle their own investments, Farrell's guide also takes on other sacred cows, such as Wall Street's belief that brokers know more than you do, and provides an exciting and illuminating section on no-load stocks, or DRIPs, which he calls "Wall Street's best-kept secret."

"Aimed at 'procrastinators, the financially challenged, and everyone who worries about dealing with their money,' this smartly read lesson has a single point: Investors in stock and bond index funds earn more than those who trade individual stocks. Nick Summers is a solid choice for this brief and snappy presentation. His tone is silky, and his moderate level of intensity is perfect for the writing, which at times grabs listeners by the lapels to make a point."
