Answer 1

http://investopedia.com

my site also helps out too on more personal level - http://thewildinvestor.com

Answer 2

The best such site, by far, that I've ever run across is, unfortunately, written by a Canadian.  MOST of the ideas are the same, but the dividend tax credits and tax deferral plans don't apply to investors from other countries.  I still think that his site is the best place to start.  http://www.telusplanet.net/public/kbetty...

A good dictionary site for looking up investment terminology is http://investopedia.com/?viewed=1

I listen to the "Financial Sense News Hour" every Saturday.  This is now up to about FOUR hours a week, but it's time well spent.  He's a bit of a gold bug, but so am I.  I think he's overdoing his promotion of a particular Mexical silver mine, but you can tune out the "Minefinders" rants and listen to the generic information.  You can get it as a podcast via iTunes or from their own website at http://www.financialsense.com/ .  Click on the "Broadcast for [date]" then either listen or download the three to five segments for the current week.

Dear Superman,

Congrats for realizing that in order to invest one must know what one is doing!  :)

I think of the best investing education sites is Morningstar.com.  They have nothing to sell you.  They are not committed to banging the drum for any particular stock, sector, or newsletter.  They are neutral observers of the market and teach investing with a conservative bent.  Some people ridicule Morningstar's native caution, but when starting out the first rule is "don't lose."  They can help you understand how not to lose.

BTW, understanding the "graphics and all that" comes AFTER you understand what drives a market, what to look for in a company, and how to decide if this particular risk (or "investment") will meet your needs.  

Investing is a long-term education ... if you devote the time and effort, you will be rewarded.  (I retired at 50) However, understand up front that it takes time and effort.  There are some books, I could recommend if you'd like a list, contact me.

I wish you the best!

Answer 4

Start with both the Federal reserve and the Securities Exchange Commission.  Both are government run and neutral.  The Fed has a very good investors education program with lots of brochures, etc.

Also, most major investment houses (Merrill, Fidelity etc.) have educational sections on their web site.

Answer 5

You may want to take a look at this:  http://stockmarketresources.blogspot.com...

I would recommend reading a few background books like "How to Make Money in Stocks" and "Investing For Dummies" for some quick background information first, but it's not extremely necessary.

No matter what you do, I'd advise you to read all the applicable tutorials on investopedia.com.  From there, you can follow it up with thismatter.com, which is another quality resource.  After, you may wish to look at more specialized information based on what you're interests are.

You can find a limited guide of that stuff on the first link I provided.  Its a site I made a while back, may or may not help you.  Best of luck.
