The Stock Market for Newbies

Where can I find more information on the Stock Market?
I want something with good details, not a stock exchange site. I want a site that tells me how I go about starting, gives a list of companies, etc. Stock Market for Newbies I guess…

Investopedia is great you will learn a lot and it is free

finance.yahoo.com has a lot of good information. You can track stocks, read press releases, and do industry analysis.

http://www.morningstar.com is another good site to use.

If you sign up for an on-line brokerage, they will have tools to use.

There a quite a few good websites. It really depends on what you are looking for.

If you are just starting out I would suggest getting anything you can get your hands on, Investing for Dummies has been suggested and is a good beginners book, and read and learn as much as you can.

Good luck and happy investing.
