Good luck!

There is a book out called "Investing for Dummies" It is a great book for new investors. Also, look into Mutual Funds.

Well,

Investing in shares, there's no 'book' that going to teach the basics. The basics is buy low, sell high. You'd really need to spend time looking at the market, and picking the counters you want. Blue chips are a great investment, but you'll have to fork out quite a bit. So it depends on how much you have, and are willing to risk.

That is investing. If you don't want to risk anything, then choose a bank, FD or mutual fund for safe bets. Investing is a risk.

No doubt about it there are tons of books that are helpful. I work at a real estate company doing all the advertising, and I read these books that my boss gave me and I loved them... Rich Dad Poor Dad, and Dave Ramsey they teach you the basics of how to SAVE money and how to be successful period... Everyone should read these books or at least the Rich Dad Poor Dad.

Investing in "individual" stocks takes a lot of knowledge and practice; so I would not suggest doing this until you understand completely how the stock markets work.

Vanguard.com is ideal for long term investors who want to learn about mutual funds, index funds, and exchange-traded-funds (ETFs). Trading funds is less risky than trying to trade "individual" stocks.

Unless you plan on spending everyday of your life looking at stock charts trying to determine the best time to get in and out of "individual" stocks, I would look into some sort of fund.

Also be very careful about asking for stock tips online. Most are probably worthless or contain unethical motives. Do not fall for any Pump-and-Dump scams.

As far as books go, I actually started out with the Investing for Dummies books, and they definitely pushed me in the right direction. To many other books have their own agendas in my opinion.

The websites below all contain plenty of FREE information to get you started in the right direction.
