443.0. "Investing at a Discount NYIF" by JUDYL::SWARTZ () Thu Apr 08 1993 14:54

I've come across a catalog of investment books from the
New York Institute of Finance. One of the books offered
in the catalog is:

Investing at a Discount: Saving on Commissions,
Management Fees and Costs. By Mark Mercer, Mercer, Inc.

"Most people tell investors to use a "discount broker" to get
the best deals, but the truth is you have to shop around to
invest cheaply. By tapping into the author's own database
of over 200 firms, this book shows how to get the most
economical deals for certain transactions. It discusses
which mutual funds offer the best returns, the best dividend
reinvestment plans and more.
index, bibliography, 592 pp., case 1990
0-13-503467-1/$24.95"


As you probably have noticed this book is dated 1990. I'm
sure commissions change over time. What I'd like to do
is get in touch directly with Mark Mercer to access his
database and skip paying $ for the book. I'll have to pay
for the database access, but at least I'll save the $25.

If anyone has an address or telephone number for
Mark or his company could you please post ?
