Hi Nathan and welcome!
Sometimes I think there should be a books or tapes or something that is required before people are allowed to invest. It sure would keep people from making a lot of mistakes

. But unfortunately millions of people fork over their hard earned money totally unprepared for what awaits them.
There are many, many books and resources that I could recommend but to be able to give you more relevant assistance, it would help to know what it is that you want to know. Some people need the very basics like what a stock and bond is. Others have the basics down pretty well and need more specialized information.
Why don't you do this - read through the archives of the Smart Money Report. Jot down things that you would like to know more about. Then post your specific interests, and I'll be able to give you some specific suggestions as to how you may learn more about it.
