  • Investipedia is good place to check out. (I just heard about it on AB) I get the sense from your question that you want to "learn by doing" and want to plunge right in with stocks. You could open a small account with a large online discount broker and buy small amounts of a few companies whose products and services you like. Plan to hold initial purchases a year or so. You will find as I did that even a little ownership sharpens your focus remarkably. You can add to your account as your confidence increases. I think the stock market is like going to the track with a very slight long-term advantage to the player. (You already know it's chancy.) Keep in mind that each trade will cost you a little off the top in commission so dont trade too often.
  • With your experience you could join Wall Street straight away and make a fortune.
  • Wallstreet Knowitall is a great (free) website where you can learn how to trade stocks. http://www.wallstreetknowitall.org
  • There are tons of sites; finding a trustworthy one is the problem. Why don't you check a book out of the library -- novel idea, aye?
