Brenda MacDonald, 55Occupation: Independent financial counsellorPortfolio : Russel Metals,, Brookfield Asset Management, Power Corp., Royal Bank, National Bank, Goldcorp, Toromont, TransCanada, Enbridge.No fan of mutual fundsMs. MacDonald doesn't like mutual funds, not just because of the hefty fees, but because she figures you can get the best of what they offer for free. ''You can go to the globefund website, look at the Top 10 holdings of all the big blue-chip funds, and then rather than pay fees, just buy the companies yourself.'' What's wrong with owning the funds themselves? The big funds often hold well over a hundred companies, and that inevitably includes many dogs, she reasons.

John Sadowski, 75Occupation: Prospector and mine manager Portfolio: Cash Our investorWhen the cast, crew, and fans of the CBC TV show Adventures in Rainbow Country had a reunion in 2006, John Sadowski happily made the trek to Ontario's Whitefish Falls on the edge of Lake Huron. The series was about the adventures of a young boy growing up in the mining and bush country of Georgian Bay's Northern Shore, and Mr. Sadowski not only played a policeman, but was also the stunt bush pilot. It was a role custom-made for Mr. Sadowski, a long-time prospector who had learnt to fly so he could get out into the field quickly and easily.

''Business owners are eternal optimists,'' adds the 63-year-old from his home in Antigonish, N.S., adding that they always think they can retire on what they'll sell their business for. ''But the best way to accumulate capital in the early stages is to buy high-quality equities that pay dividends.''

Gary MacMillanOccupation: Retired Sheridan College business professorAge:66Investment personality: UltraconservativePortfolio makeup: Bank GICsA Non-Investing Business ProfessorLast October, when the economy and the markets hit the skids, Gary MacMillan felt both secure with his investments and somewhat reassured to have his forecast confirmed. But he's the first to admit that a crash was something that he'd been predicting for more than 10 years. ''Back then, the market had been going up and up, but I said, ''Wait a minute. With everyone putting money into mutual funds, it's bound to slow down.' I thought the bubble would burst, told my friends, but no one would listen, and then it happened.''
