  1. motley fool
  2. Yahoo! Finance has sections with great basic information on stocks, mutual funds, options, etc. The Motley Fool Web site is also a good place to start, as is a book called "The Motley Fool's Rule Breakers, Rule Makers" by David and Tom Gardner, which you can find at any bookstore or Amazon.com. This lays out stock-picking strategies for up-and-coming growth stocks and for tried-and-true large-company value stocks. Another useful Web site with lots of good basic information is clearstation.etrade.com, run by the e-trade brokerage company.
  3. Go to www.amazon.com and look for books by Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad) and Dave Ramsey. (Total Money MakeOver).
