I would suggest a small, very easy reading book, "The Wealthy Barber". This little gem has been around for years, and is the best, easiest read I have ever seen for folks interested in investing but don't have the knowledge they need. It is not written as a text book, but gives you a broad and basic understanding of a whole lot that many people over complicate. In the thirty years I have been in the investment business, I think I have given away well over two hundred copies. BTW, I don't have any affiliation with the publishers or writers. David Chilton is the author, and it can be had almost anywhere, Amazon and in book stores. Good Fortune$ to you.

The first thing you need to do is open an account with a brokerage house. I use Fidelity Investments and am very happy with them. You can research stocks, bonds and mutual funds all you want. Also, if you just want to keep your money in a checking type account invest in their FDRXX fund. It is just like a regular bank account but the interest rate you get is ten times better. Regular banks (S&Ls) are for suckers and kids with a paper route. As far as the actual investing goes the best advice I can give is do your research and invest in companies you know and trust and do it for the long term. Anything else and you might as well go to Vegas and put it all on black.

It sounds as if you have many years of investing ahead. I suggest you get started and continue with a top rated mutual fund. I like the American Funds family.
As time goes by and your account grows, you will thank yourself for being a 'dummy'.
Then, if you want to do some gambling, it would be good to have done as much reading of investment oriented books as you can find.
I can give you a list if you email me.
