And don't get burned with HYIP's. Once nova-lights fucked us all, anything's possible :helpme

anything from benjamin graham is a great place to start. intelligent investor should be the first of his that you read.

If you really want to learn,,,take an intership at local brokerage firm. The best way to learn someting new is from the inside out.
