is an in-depth book on investments understandable let alone
entertaining. Cutting the Gordian Knot does a

exciting journey for those who desire financial independence.

is committed to being successful long term."

the "confusing cast of characters" found in the investment
world, Cutting the Gordian Knot is full of advice
that every investor not only needs, but also requires to make
knowledgeable decisions."

"Cutting
the Gordian Knot contains some powerful material; anyone
who reads it can master their own finances and investments.
Any company that provides a means for its employees to invest
their 401(k), profit sharing or pension funds should make this
book required reading!"

"Lon
Neese has performed a genuine public service by authoring Cutting
the Gordian Knot, for he covers a field of critical knowledge
about which the public in general is gravely illiterate, and
he does so in a concise yet lucid style. Would that every high
school senior could have access to the material covered! And
yet it is a solid reference book for everyone regardless of
age."
