I too went to the steak dinner hosted by this company shortly after completing USAF pilot training. I was embarrassed at my lack of knowledge about investing, and the up-front load for the mutual fund made me very uneasy. That weekend I went to the library and checked out several books with the hope I could learn enough to get comfortable with the ideas pitched at the dinner. One of the books was A Random Walk Down Wall Street-Burton Malkiel. Another was The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need-Andrew Tobias. Those two books saved me from making a big mistake and started me on a simple, but effective path of investing.
