As a portfolio manager,I write a monthly newsletter to my clients. In the January issue,I strongly recommended Chevreaus book . As a financial writer Chevreau has always been critical of abusive sales practices and the high cost of investing with mutual funds. Findependence Day is a financial novel about a young couple grappling with the issues of retirement planning from their 20s to mid 40s. Its particularly useful for individuals in that age bracket, especially if they would not otherwise read a book on investing . I recommended it to my cousins recently married children. There is lots of advice for seasoned investors as well including current info on TFSAs(tax free savings accounts)
