Hedge Funds for Canadians (Softcover) by Peter Beck Frustrated with mutual fund and stock market performance? Looking for alternative ways to invest your money? Hedge your bets with Hedge Funds!? It's no secret that stock market performance over recent years has been disappointing, to say the least-or abysmal, to be more realistic. And when the markets go down, mutual funds go down with them. So what are Canadian investors to do? Hedge funds are alternative investments that are designed to provide investors with strong returns during both bull and bear markets. Often misunderstood by the average investor, the popularity of hedge funds has been growing rapidly in Canada, thanks to regulatory changes and the continued poor performance of more traditional investment vehicles. More widely available than ever before, hedge funds can reduce overall risk and volatility, and improve performance regardless of the general stock market direction. Note this is the 2004 edition.

Silent Partners : Taxpayers and the Bankrolling of the Bankrolling of Bombardier (Hardcover) by Peter Hadekel A global powerhouse, Bombardier is the world's biggest producer of rail and mass transit equipment and the third largest player in the aerospace industry. But the company was built with enormous help from the Canadian taxpayer and has become a symbol of corporate reliance on government aid. Over the years, it has received billions in federal financing and loan guarantees for the sale of its airplanes and trains. This is the story of Bombardier Inc., Canadas best known manufacturer abroad. Its passenger jets, business aircraft, subway cars, and inter-city trains have conquered markets around the globe. A family business started in the backwoods of Quebec, Bombardier grew from an obscure snowmobile manufacturer into an international giant. Laurent Beaudoin, a brilliant entrepreneur, parlayed the familys modest investment into one of Canadas biggest fortunes. But his path to success was marked by controversy. Bombardier became the prime suspect in a national outcry over corporate welfare in Canada. Critics said it could never have succeeded without tax breaks, loans, and subsidies from the government. Was it a fair charge? Did Bombardier really depend on the backing of its silent partners, the taxpayers of Canada? Or were these the rules of the game in the heavily subsidized world of planes and trains? Silent Partners examines the record, the politics, and the personalities behind the deals. Its the story of how business gets done in Canada. Its about regional and linguistic cleavage, democratic values, and public trust. Above all, its the story of two business leaders, Laurent Beaudoin and Paul Tellierone a visionary builder, the other a corporate saviourand how they planned to ask Canadians for help just one more time.
