Canadians can no longer rely on company pension plans to provide them with a secure future. Increasingly, investors have to make tough investment decisions on their own or pay someone to do it for them. But where does one start?There is certainly no shortage of commentators, salespeople, and data available about what you should do, yet, it is often contradictory and overwhelming. What Kind of an Investor Are You? cuts through all of that and allows you to figure out what is best for you. Should you be doing this on your own or should you hire a financial advisor? This book will help you formulate the best plan for you — one that you will be comfortable with, allowing you to achieve your financial goals.
