Not being taught even the basics of managing money in school makes it difficult to understand advanced strategies like leveraging, or borrowing to invest. The resulting misconceptions or myths often prevent people from objectively assessing the real risks and rewards of leveraging conservatively as a part of an integrated financial plan.
"While Talbot Stevens forthrightly sets out the risks of leverage, the probable impact of this ground-breaking investment booklet will likely be to increase its intelligent use by overly cautious Canadian investors."
- Jonathan Chevreau, National Post columnist, Publisher of The Boomer.com.
"In this clear, concise, and balanced booklet, Talbot takes the reader by the hand and shows how to build wealth quicker through conservative leveraging while avoiding the pitfalls. Any investor whether large or small can benefit from Talbot's simple but effective techniques. Don't even think of leveraging until you've read this booklet!"
