Review“Reynolds provides plenty of ammunition for investment babes in the woods to protect themselves against the many financial predators that abound in the financial services jungle.” - National Post “The Skeptical Investor, by respected finance writer John Lawrence Reynolds, reflects what millions of Canadians are wondering: Is it possible to build an investment portfolio that can withstand the kind of heartbeat-skipping volatility we’ve lived through since the fall of 2008? Reynolds believes you can…” - Today’s Economy --This text refers to the Paperback edition.Book DescriptionEvery RRSP owner watched in horror as the value of assets dropped steeply during the last months of 2008. Some lost more than 50 percent of their portfolio's value; many of these investors were approaching the point in their lives when they planned to use their RRSP assets as retirement income. These unfortunate events have made one thing very clear: It is not enough to build up investments—we must learn how to better guard them. John Lawrence Reynolds, author of the bestselling Naked Investor, uses real-life examples and his characteristic wry humour to explain how any investor can take advantage of opportunities now to rebuild a stronger portfolio. Fortress Investing offers insight about what happened in the markets, how to spot problems on the road ahead, and most importantly, how to build a strong portfolio and safeguard that fortress through trying times. |
