Investopedia University, FREE Stock Market Education!
I DID NOT spend mega $$$ to learn about the stock market! Fortunately I spent less than $100 on books before I discovered Investopedia. All the books went to Goodwill.
Investopedia University has all the info anyone needs to learn about the stock market, FOR FREE! I assembled a group of what I believe should be the most pertinent info at Investopedia to help a person get a decent grasp of the stock market, to help them feel more comfortable with getting started, and taking control of their financial future.
With the advent of online brokers, I can manage my own money, even my own retirement account(s) with almost no knowledge of the stock market. Just open an account, put some money in, and buy stocks of familiar, well known companies – EXAMPLES ONLY – GE, Proctor & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, Pepsi, Coke, Kellogg’s, General Mills, John Deere, Caterpillar – the list is huge! I could also just buy shares of an index fund (ETF) for the DOW (DIA), S&P 500 (SPY), NASDAQ (QQQQ), etc.
MY VIEW ON “DOLLAR COST AVERAGING“, or buying small quantities of shares over time.
