Learn About Stock Market

I am 19 and would like to learn about the stock market. Where is the best place to learn about it?

I am 19 and want to learn about the stock market. I have done plenty of research but I need either an actual person teaching me or more hands on work. I am more interested in shorter term trading. Not necesarilly day trading but definitely not long term. Anyone have any ideas on where to find instructors or decent learning material. Thanks.

I am a finance senior.

First there are two books you should read. Way better than textbooks. The first is called “the math behind wall street”.

http://www.amazon.com/Math-Behind-Wall-Street-Market/dp/1568581602/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-9307096-4545628?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1177570772&sr=8-1

Then read this one;

http://www.amazon.com/Investing-Dummies-Business-Personal-Finance/dp/0764599038/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-9307096-4545628?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1177570661&sr=8-1

If you want to jump into it right away, the University of Arizona has a lot of good materials online. The books are better, but here is the link;

Read the books. Read the Wall Street Journal every day, highlight the terms you don’t understand & look them up online. Google the term “_____ definition”.

Finally play the fantasy stock market. It is a cheap way to learn.

Here is that link.

And the guide.

Buy a Hewlett Packard financial calculator ($40 bucks), & READ THE MANUAL.

If you do this and like it, I’d recommend finance as a major. Although it is pretty intense.

Very cool that you want to learn.

Good luck
