PRAISE FOR BONDS FOR CANADIANS
"Andrew Allentuck is one of the premiere financial journalist
covering fixed income markets from a uniquely Canadian perspective.
His knowledge of the bond market is second to none."
--Randy LeClair, CFA, Vice-President & Portfolio Manager, AIC
Investment Services Inc.
"Andrew Allentuck's new book explains the complexities of the bond
market to Canadians in an engrossing and deliciously entertaining
manner. Superbly written, Bonds for Canadians is both a blueprint
for financial prosperity as well as a delightful and often humorous
look at the most misunderstood and idiosyncratic of markets. I wish
this book had been around 26 years ago when I began my
career."
--Tom Czitron, CFA, Managing Director, Head of Bonds and Fixed
Income, Sceptre Investment Counsel Ltd.
"Canadian retail investors are largely in the dark on how bonds
work or how to incorporate them into their investment
strategy...That is, until now. Deconstructing what is often
considered the most cerebral of financial markets, Mr. Allentuck
provides an engaging, entertaining and anecdoteladen account of
what boods are, how they work and why they matter more now than
ever. This is the sort of book that every serious retail investor
should carry around, dog-eared and rolled, in his back
pocket."
--Martin Cej, Investment Editor, The Globe and Mail
"Bonds for Canadians shows how to escape the roller-coaster of
risks of the stock market while generating a tidy fortune for
retirement. It's an important contribution to financial
planning."
--Daniel F. Stonach, Registered Financial Planner, President,
Stronach Financial Group Inc.
