365 days to your richest life: day 8
Many people ask me what they should read in order to increase their financial IQ. It’s an excellent question, and there are some great and many not-so-great books out there.
But I think it can be simpler. Rob Carrick’s personal finance column in the Globe and Mail is usually objective, information, accessible and in tune with what we’re thinking about.
Moneysense magazine (noted in an earlier post for its Couch Potato Portfolio) section is by the the best source of personal finance and investment information for Canadians — if you don’t want to commit to a subscription, you can often find a copy in your local library.
In terms of investment websites, there is nothing better for investors than Shakespeare’s Investment Primer.
The publisher Keith Betty describes the site as a primer for do-it-yourself investors, but I’d argue that this is the kind of basic knowledge that investors should also have at their disposal when considering recommendations from a financial adviser.
