Is there a website or book I can find that willgive me info on stocks (for beginners)?

Answer 1

By far the best book I have read is "One up on Wall St" by Peter Lynch, the most successful mutual fund manager ever. It has been out for a long time now, but he teaches you the right concept for picking stocks.

Answer 2

First read "The Little Book that Beats the Market" - this will help you learn the fundamentals of finding good investments. Then you want to see what the best investors are buying and selling. You can find this information at http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money. Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors. You can also read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas. There is also a charting feature , so you can see how your portfolio performs compared to the S&P 500.

Here are this month's best traders:

Answer 3

A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton Malkiel
Jeremy Siegel's Stocks for the Long Run,

And even though I know I am going to catch abuse for this.

Mad Money by Jim Cramer... people mock it but it gives an analyst overview of stocks and explains what really makes stock prices move

Good Luck
