hey fiw! learning about stock investing is a great goal. here's a structured approach i'd suggest: 1. start with free resources like investopedia and khan academy for fundamentals 2. practice with paper trading (simulated trading) before using real money 3. read annual reports (10-Ks) of companies you understand and use 4. study value investors like warren buffett and peter lynch 5. learn technical analysis basics, but don't over-rely on it key advice: start small, focus on learning not earning initially, and remember that consistent returns come from discipline and patience, not trying to get rich quick. what interests you most about stock investing?

here are some essential books to get you started: 1. "the intelligent investor" by benjamin graham - buffett's mentor wrote this classic 2. "one up on wall street" by peter lynch - great for learning how to spot opportunities in companies you encounter daily 3. "the psychology of money" by morgan housel - crucial for developing the right mindset for practice: - use marketwatch's stock simulator - join a local investment club - follow earnings calls of 2-3 companies you know well - start a small portfolio ($100-500) once you're comfortable with paper trading - document your decisions in a trading journal remember: the market is the best teacher. you'll learn more from making small trades with real money than from reading 100 books. just keep the amounts small while learning. what kind of companies interest you most?
