David Trahair wrote Enough Bull –
How to retire well without the stock
market, mutual funds, or even an
investment advisor as an easy to
understand and simple to apply
plan for retirement.
The book shows Canadians how to
avoid all the traditional financial
traps and demonstrates that doing
the exact opposite of what they
have been told will leave them
much further ahead.
Topics include how to invest in 100 per cent safe
investments that will never decline, getting out of mutual
funds and the stock market forever, when to receive your
CPP pension, and why you should wait until you are over
50 to start your RRSP, to name just a few.
