With Warren Buffett’s wisdom as our guide, we’ve beaten the pants of most mutual funds with our investment club.

I'm Andrew Hallam. Many people aren't comfortable talking about money. It's not usually a conversational dinner-time topic, and its principles are rarely taught in schools. My goal is to have a "conversation" about it here, on this blog. If you read something you find intriguing, please comment or ask your questions!

Great article. I remember reading this one back when it was first published, and it’s great to give it another read. It’s a breath of fresh air when I read it now as it was when I first came across it in my MoneySense mag at home.

Hey–I’m glad you liked the article Rat. You’re a very good writer; have you ever thought of writing magazine articles or a book? As a young retiree, you’d have a great story to share.

I like your club’s investment philosophy. It’s taken me a while to get to a point where I don’t get rattled when the market goes down, it’s just another opportunity.
