@chikamd Thanks for spreading the word!

Book of the month Beat the bank by @LarryBatesBTB I highly recommend this!

@12raves13birds Glad you like the book. I am not doing a new version. I know the book is somewhat dated, but the principles of the book are just as valid as they were when I wrote. All the best. Larry.

@LarryBatesBTB Big fan of your book! Any chance you’re working on an updating version?

@PensionCraft I’m back in business!!!

Also in this post is the T-Rex Score page from @LarryBatesBTB that allows you to calculate the cost of fees. Canadians will often/mostly lose almost 50% of their investment wealth to fees. You don't have to experience that. 🇨🇦 larrybates.ca/t-rex-score/
