Why I stopped trying to beat the market
From Thursday’s Globe and Mail Published Wednesday, Sep. 21, 2011 Since 1999, I’ve helped to oversee an investment club – with results, I’m happy to report, that make most mutual funds look inept by comparison.

Welcome to My Blog!
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!
I am also the author of the book, Millionaire Teacher: The Nine Rules of Wealth You Should Have Learned at School
