Shocked – How Canadians Can Invest After the Collapse by John
Stephenson, John Wiley & Sons, $32.95, ISBN: 978-0-470-16087-9
Shell Shocked turns the conventional investment wisdom on its head by

right here at home.
In Shell Shocked, Bay Street veteran John Stephenson pinpoints the links
that have brought the world to the brink of economic collapse, and offers a
compelling rallying cry for all Canadian investors in a sentiment sure to be
echoed around the investing world: buy me all the Canada you can get!
Rich in detailed, fact-based analysis, Shell Shocked explains what to
buy and when to buy it. The world has changed, and so has investing. Shell
Shocked is your blueprint for investing success.
Dale Ennis, editor-in-chief, Canadian MoneySaver comments: This book
ranks in the top three investment titles that I have read by a Canadian for
Canadians. Investing for the future? You must read this compelling and
thought-provoking book.
Canada has been the top-performing country to invest in between 2000 and 2009.
John documents the reasons to expect this trend to continue.

 Spend
Smarter, Save Bigger - Finding Big Savings in your Home, Mortgage, Vehicles,
Insurance and Investments by Margot Bai, White Knight Books, $19.95,
ISBN: 0-9780570-3-1
This book, Spend Smarter, Save Bigger helps Canadians turn things around by
finding big savings on their biggest expenses. Bigger savings make it possible
to pay off debts faster and build a solid financial foundation.

making smarter financial decisions. Choosing a shorter mortgage term carries
some risk but usually offers the lowest rate. Buying a vehicle privately from a
motivated seller will save thousands over dealer mark-ups. Acting alone, without
the help of a highly paid sales agent, will save tens of thousands in commissions
when selling a home or purchasing mutual funds.
Readers will benefit from practical advice tailored specifically to the needs of
Canadians, with topics including the Home Buyers' Plan and RRSPs. Easy to read,
each chapter contains a story that highlights a financial truth in an
entertaining way. Saving money is the one reliable path
to wealth that anyone can follow. While other personal finance books focus on
small savings, Spend Smarter will boost savings by thousands each year,
eliminating debts and accelerating the path to financial freedom.

dreams.

this title, you can deduce that he supports Benj's practices. He also wants
