No Idea where to start

[ubergeek]

Hi
I was talking to some mates the otherday about shares and long term investments. But i have absolutely no idea where to start. I have been looking around the forum but it all makes no sence, things like divid ends, blue chips, fully franked shares, it all means nothing to me.
So i was wondering where i can learn about all the meanings and how to get started in the stock market (for investments)

Probably look in the forum bookshop for some beginners material and the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) site has a lot of explanatory material.

Before you start, make sure you read a couple of good books about trading and money management. Practice some paper trading as well.

The Art of Trading by Chris Tate is well worth buying.
He offers a lot of wisdom and practical advice before you enter the Sharks Arena.

Go to your local library and borrow a few books to get you started.
