After reading Gail Bebee’s experience of how she started investing (which is comparable to my own), I definitely would like to read this book. Undoubtedly, she would have something to offer those who are trying to distill out an investing strategy from the wide array of material available. thx for bringing it to my attention.

It would be nice to see a chapter on TFSA’s vs. RRSP’s. I know that Gordon Pape published a book specifically on this subject recently, but this book could not be complete without atleast a one chapter on the subject.

I’ve been a DRIP investor for the last ten years. This kind of investing has been good for me – once setup, very few expenses, if any. I read everything available to see if there is anything new on the advice front, to confirm that I haven’t missed anything of importance.

Here’s Gail’s comments on this post reprinted with permission:

“Thank you for your review. I appreciate you taking the time to read the book.

We obviously don’t agree on all aspects of investing. That is why investing is such a fascinating subject.
I do want to clarify that I am not advocating new investors buy stocks right away. I do suggest in the chapter on building investing plans that they start off with savings accounts and then mutual funds and only get into stocks once they have sufficient funds for adequate diversification.”

Thanks for the note… I did check back your post for Gail’s comments. Though she didn’t leave a comment here, she did send me an email. I’ll ask her permission to post it…
