The world has changed and, although the experts are divided on what we can expect from the stock market and world economy, one certainty is that the psychology of today's investor has changed forever. Despite many signs that the worst of the bear market is now behind us, investors continue to be wary about investing in mutual funds and the stock market. However, while mutual fund sales declined by 88 0n 2002, income trusts boomed and became a $42-billion asset class during that same period. Investors are now acutely aware of the true meaning of volatility risk and are seeking more conservative, but still rewarding, investment vehicles for their hard-earned money. Sleep-Easy Investing is a practical, accessible guide to minimizing risk while building your wealth. It covers lower-risk and income-generating investments that allow you to sleep at night, to protect the money you have invested, and to prosper from it. It explains everything from Canada Savings Bonds, to GICs, bonds of all types, income trusts, dividend-paying stocks, and much more. It also helps you minimize costs and taxes, understand the benefits and risks of each type of investment, learn about the strongest offerings in each category, and find online resources for further information.
