Description
A step-by-step guide to a proven, simple, low-cost strategy that beats the performance of most professional money managers.
With low-cost alternatives and low trading costs widely available to the average investor, why do Canadians still struggle to manage their money effectively?
Many stubbornly believe that successful investing is about outsmarting the market and forecasting the economy, even though these strategies routinely fail. So, we focus on the wrong things - such as short-term market moves, or which stocks to buy - and take inappropriate risks, losing sight of the fact that a portfolio is simply a tool to help us achieve our goals: buying a house, saving for a comfortable retirement, or a university education for our kids.
Whether your nest egg is $1,000 or $1 million, Reboot Your Portfolio is the roadmap you need to take control of your investments, shake off your bad habits, reduce your money stress, and enjoy the financial future you deserve.
* Offers a simple nine-step approach to building a low-cost, low-maintenance, diversified portfolio of exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
* Covers all the steps you need to know to set financial goals, select ETFs, open accounts and place orders, build and maintain your portfolio, and stick with your plan for the long haul.
* Written by an award-winning journalist and the creator of Canadian Couch Potato, one of the longest-running and most popular financial blogs in the country.
