Some excellent books to read to get started which cover the basics are...
Stock Investing For Dummies by Paul Mladjenovic
How to Make Money in Stocks: A Winning System in Good Times or Bad by William J. O'Neil
The Motley Fool Investment Guide, by David and Tom Gardner
Beating the Street by Peter Lynch
All these and many more are available in your public library. Go there and browse around. It's a good way to get out of the heat for a bit.

For just starting out, you need a real basic book to begin with so you can learn the basics first. "Investing for Dummies" is such a book. Amazon has it and your library should have it. As one of your responders has already mentioned "The Intelligent Investor" is a classic. A book on "Technical Analysis" should be read by every investor in my opinion. Do a search on Amazon to find a selection. Also a book on Asset Allocation. But I would save that one for a couple of years down the road. |

Of the investing books I've read, the only one I consider an absolute must read is "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" by Burton Malkiel. |

Some excellent recommendations listed here.
I'd like to add that what I've discovered is there is only so much one can put into a book, and things change over time. Once you've learned the basics, you should expand your knowledge by observation (O"Neill's fish story) and talking to other traders. |

I just started reading this book by the heralded "dean of wall street" benjamin graham. the more you learn about wall street and stocks youll recognize these names more if you dont know them already: benjamin graham and warren buffet. buffet is the second richest man in america behind bill gates and he earned it from "value" investing. he was a student and partner of grahams. so pretty much what these guys say is golden.
well the book is "THE INTELLIGENT INVESTOR". its pretty intimidating if youre just starting out (the edition i have is 600 pages but its chock full of commentary). at the most basic level theres speculative investing (investing on emotion with little relevant research) then theres value investing which is all about informed technical decisions.
maybe you can read "RULE #1" by Phil Town first which is an easier read but aims for the same philosophy then go onto benjamin grahams works.
buffet and graham earned +20% returns in their careers compared to around less than 10% market average and other wall street big shot hype types. thatll make you big money! i like studying graham and buffet because they are not guru types! they made money first practicing then tought later whereas it is likely the types with a big smiling picture of themselves on the covers likely made their money writing and selling their books and seminars not actually in the market. but in general check out books about value investing..
i should say that the value approach will involve homework, youll have to do research, run numbers, and analyze financial statements. but the resources are readily available and the returns those guys got (and still get, buffet is still alive and earning +30% last i heard) are testament to this informed method of investing. |

If you are a beginner, I would suggest using mutual funds. There are 3 good books to get you started:
1) Mutual Funds for Dummies, by Eric Tyson
2) http://www.invest-for-retirement.com is a free book in PDF format, by me
3) The Boglehead's Guide to Investing
If you want to learn about investing in individual stocks, then these 2 books are great for beginners:
1) The Five Rules of Successful Stock Investing, by Pat Dorsey
2) All about Stocks, byt Esme Faerber |
