    I am in the same boat. Learning as I go. I dont want to jump into the deep end with sufficient knowledge. Investing comes with a lot of reading, that's how it works. I've ordered a few books, but am still waiting for them to arrive. As of now I am spending a lot of time researching online.

    I've gotten through most of Investing for Dummies as well. Not as good as the Buffet essays IMO (and obviously), but still some great basic knowledge. Another read I recommend to fellow beginners!

    Thanks I'll have to keep that in mind. I'll pick it up when I'm next near book store.

    How is Investing for Dummies? I've been reading through the Buffet Essays right now and was thinking about picking that up afterwards but I'm not sure if it will have any new information for me.

    I think that the "for Dummies" is a pretty neat collection, I think they have books on all areas so we cannot expect a very deep knowledge, but to start with I think it can be a good one. If you have some knowledge don't go for it though.

    I've used their books to gain a good baseline of knowledge in other areas of life, so I can imagine that the investing one is just as good a place to start.

    I have been trying to research how to get into stock and it seems like the more that I research the more that I just get frustrated. I would really like to get started and some of the resources that are listed in this thread have been helpful thus far. I know that stock trading is really risky and that you would have to really learn how to look at the markets. I just want to know as well what is a good amount of money to begin testing the waters to begin trading?
