Investing in "individual" stocks takes a lot of knowledge and practice; so I would not suggest doing this until you understand completely how the stock markets work.

Vanguard.com is ideal for long term investors who want to learn about mutual funds, index funds, and exchange-traded-funds (ETFs). Trading funds is less risky than trying to trade "individual" stocks.

Unless you plan on spending everyday of your life looking at stock charts trying to determine the best time to get in and out of "individual" stocks, I would look into some sort of fund.

Also be very careful about asking for stock tips online. Most are probably worthless or contain unethical motives. Do not fall for any Pump-and-Dump scams.

As far as books go, I actually started out with the Investing for Dummies books, and they definitely pushed me in the right direction. To many other books have their own agendas in my opinion.

The websites below all contain plenty of FREE information to get you started in the right direction.

Morningstar.com has free lessons you can take on stock, mutual fund, and bond investing. It's a great place to start. In addition, I suggest reading any of the Morningstar books and anything by Jim Cramer or Benjamin Graham.

Excellent. IMO, you would be best served by reading some info on stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. These are the "meat and potatoes" of the investing world and most people have at least some of their money in these. Any of the following sources should help get you started:

1) Book: Mutual Funds for Dummies, by Eric Tyson. Single greatest book for beginners, IMO. Even better than my book.
2) Book: The Boglehead's Guide to Investing
3) My free downloadable book at http://www.invest-for-retirement.com . In chapter 25, I go through a step-by-step plan for your retirement plan. However, this stepwise approach can be adapted to other investing goals as well.
4) Some great tutorials are at http://www.investopedia.com

It all starts with defining your goals and their corresponding time horizons. This is because your time horizon will help you determine how much risk is appropriate to take. Start first by defining your goals, and your whole investment process will become much easier. (In fact, "begin with the end in mind" is the second habbit of "highly effective people", a book written by Steven Covey.)

When learning about investing, you will want to pay particular attention to these aspects:

- How costs have a dramatic impact on your overall return in the long-run. Even a 0.5% reduction in annual expenses can give you $100,000 or more over several decades of investing.
- What is "asset allocation"? Why the stock to bond ratio is the most important factor determining your risk and return in the long-run.
- The benefits of investing in "non-correlated" asset classes.
- The benefits of "rebalancing" your funds at regular intervals.
- What kind of returns have the stock market given in the past? What might we expect over the next several decades?
- What is an "efficient market" and why is it difficult to beat the market over long periods of time?
- What is the difference betweem an actively-managed mutual fund and an "index mutual fund"? Index funds beat about 70 - 80% of actively managed funds over a period of 10 years or more, mostly because of low
