Here's a start - log on to Yahoo Finance. Start reading the articles.
If you don't know much, just take a look at the closing prices of the S&P 500 every day, which is an "index" that covers most of the market. That helps you get a feel for what "up and down" means.

Avoid technical trading (buying or selling based on price movements, not company information) - it's simply not good for the beginning investor, and the folks in my office think it's crap, and I work for economists.

I agree with toad4music on Crammer and Buffett. Read Buffetts letters to shareholders in Berkshires annual reports.

Jim Kramer is alright, but he's sometimes more hype than the meat and potatoes of investing. I'd read Warren Buffett books...any and all of them. The guy is a genious.
