where can i find the basics of global investing?how to teach myself about it?

Answer 1

While there are no good basic books that are kept up to date, I suggest that you subscribe and read the Economist magazine. It is a weekly and comes out of offices in London and New York. That will teach you about the global economy and give you hints on what countries' economies are doing best. Also, suggest you read Tom Friedman's book "The World is Flat." Also good is a book on the history of the world economy entitled "Commanding Heights." Amazon has a documentary video of that book that you might be able to get a inexpensive used copy.
