NEVER EVER go to the yahoo finance message boards. Just biased people pumping every stock. Real investors laugh at the boards, you will thank melater.Originally Posted by fortheloveofthegame8

Check out these 3 sites:
http:///Investopedia.com .... This breaks down every type of investment and anything you can imagine with investing. They have tutorials, stock simulators, exam preparations, etc ...
Finance.yahoo.com .... The main page has articles and links about all the financial news that will keep you informed of events in the financial world. Also, the most important part of the site IMO is the have a "Message Board" for every stock symbol. For example: if you type "ETFC" and click "Message Board" on the left hand side of the page ... it will take you to a message board of people discussing what they think will happen to the stock in the coming days, weeks, years, as well as all news within the company (new hires, inside buying, mergers, etc...)
cbsmarketwatch.com .... This is similar to yahoo finance, but without the message board. The homepage has a bunch of articles about financial news.
