Books I recommend reading:
The Single Best Investment by Lowell Miller
By far the best book on dividend growth strategy
The Standard And Poor's Guide To Building Wealth With Dividend Stocks by Joseph R. Tigue
Another good read on dividend growth, but 40% of it is a list of U.S dividend aristocrat companies
The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham
Everything you need to know about investing in the stock market.
The Investment Zoo by Stephen A. Jarislowsky
Insight on investing from a Canadian perspective; what to look for, and what to avoid.
I highly recommend getting a subscription to MoneySense Magazine . It's $20 for 6 issues and I anxiously await each and every one. You can even get Aeroplan miles when you order it.
