1. Purchase Jim Cramer's books. He's also aired on CNBC at 6:00 everyday.
2. Hello, I also had a similair problem as you have. I had a good amount of money, and wanted it to grow. So I looked around on the internet to find something that is: 1) giving me great returns towards a relatively small risk 2) Professional people who know what they where doing with my money. I'm glad to say I finally found a moneymanager who is capable of giving me good returns and give me a great support. On this blog you can follow up all the results that he is making: http://my-robottrader.blogspot.com/ My money is working for me, in three months time I already have a ROI of 76%. So you don't hear me complaining! Annyway if you would like to get in touch with my moneymanager to have some more information feel free to contact me you can send an email to me at derrekmay at gmail.com. Then I'll give you the email adress of my moneymanager Hope this has helped you!
3. Unfortunately, there are many books out there that make great reading, but promote investment systems that don't work. Finding good investment books is difficult. One excellent book is Burton Malkiel's "A Random Walk down Wall Street" it discusses how to build a safe, balanced portfolio. This website gives a list of good books and websites too read: http://www.diehards.org/readbooks.htm Yahoo has some very good sites on investing. http://finance.yahoo.com/education/begin_investing http://finance.yahoo.com/funds/basics This Federal government website is helpful http://sec.gov/investor/pubs/assetallocation.htm Vanguard, a nonprifit company has a good site on investment. http://www.vanguard.com/VGApp/hnw/planningeducation The Motley fool has a "fool's school" that is helpful. I don't recommendation their services you have to pay for, however. http://www.fool.com/school.htm The Diehard site gives a list of helpful websites. http://www.diehards.org/readsites.htm
