Product Description
"I'd categorize Portfolio First Aid as a serious investment primer that has the laudable, if ambitious, goal of raising the sophistication level of the general public."
—Jonathan Chevreau, Financial Post
"Portfolio First Aid has the right pedigree as an advice tome on healthy investing. Covers the bases of portfolio balance, building wealth, investing for income and managing risk."
—The Edmonton Journal
The financial meltdown has taken a severe toll on the finances of Canadians, and on their confidence in financial and investment advisors. Canadians need help to learn how to diagnose what is the greatest threat to their long-term financial well-being and to follow a course of treatment to recovery.
Financial First Aid for Canadian Investors is for all the battered and bloodied investors whose portfolios are in tatters and who lack direction about what to do next. By examining the lessons to be learned from mistakes made in both good and bad markets, the authors address the common and recurring investment blunders they have witnessed over many years, and offer a clear prescription for how to repair wounded portfolios.
From the Inside Flap
- What exactly happened in the most recent economic crisis and why, and the fresh lessons to be learned from the meltdown.
- How to deal with the challenge of a historically low interest rate environment, and the close-to-zero investment returns of today.
- The increased need to provide for our own independent financial futures at a time when there must be less reliance on hard-pressed governments.
- The uniquely Canadian opportunities in the face of the global financial crisis, such as the strength of our banking system and our status as an energy power.
- Entirely new chapters on some emerging, and powerfully positive, securities to help investors mitigate risk, such as Insurance Products and Structured Products.
For anyone who wants to take control of their financial future, Financial First Aid for Canadian Investors is the first step towards a truly healthy investment strategy.

Not Much Aid Here!,

This review is from: Financial First Aid for Canadian Investors: Stop the Bleeding, Start the Healing and Get Your Portfolio on the Road to Recovery (Hardcover)
If you do want to "Stop the Bleeding, Start the Healing and Get your Portfolio on the Road to Recovery" then this book is of no help whatsoever. The advice in Chapter 5 says it all - "You Need Professional Help" - and displays the bias of the authors for the people who probably destroyed your portfolio to start with. There is some superficial explanation of asset allocation and risk, segregated funds, etc. but if you want a real explanation you should probably read Milevsky's older but much more readable "Money Logic" or for the more technical-minded, Bernstein's "The Intelligent Asset Allocator".This book does nothing for the more informed investor and will probably drive the neophyte investor into the arms of the financial analysts, which may have been the intent to begin with.
