Ellen's Investment Club  (Toronto Central Investment Share Club) Guest Speaker: Ales Eisner March 18, 2025, 7:00 – 9:00 P.M By videoconference We have a guest speaker, a self-taught investor, to kick off the meeting at 7 pm. Ales Eisner is an early retiree, having left his IT job at age 48. He keeps busy with leisure pursuits and writing about investing at his website, https://canadianmoneytalk.ca , as well as acting as a mentor for people who need money advice.

Not everything going on behind the scenes is reported in the media.

Here’s a link: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/df41b4d21dc8e30953dba041b19a5fdd36b3f6c0eecbb54437f85d9413326212/MI2KLSWP2RC4XATRMWDDXJY7Z4/ Last week, Steadyhand Investment Funds did a blog post on the same topic, with the headline, "DIY Investing? How to ensure your family isn't left holding the bag."
