David Cruise and Alison Griffiths

David Cruise and Alison Griffiths are two of Canada’s premier investigative journalists. In addition, the couple are business columnists for the Toronto Star where they created the vastly popular Choice Portfolios column. Their Sunday column covers the stock market, provides investing advice and analyzes current economic events, and it’s extremely popular with Star readers.

Since the husband and wife team began writing together in 1983, their groundbreaking work has appeared in Newsweek, Esquire, Saturday Night, Canadian Business and many other North American magazines and newspapers. Cruise and Griffiths also have a long history in radio and television and have contributed extensively to CBC radio and television, picking up five national awards in the process. Allison is a weekly columnist for CBC TV’s Midday and has been a guest host of CBC Radio’s Morningside and Midday.

"For entertainment and information value it would be difficult to find better speakers. David and Alison have a unique outlook on business and investment and they always weave in fascinating anecdotes from their many books. Highly recommended!"
