- For someone who is a novice at investing, I would recommend reading some
- of the books on investing (there was a thread about books recently, so I won't
- go further). I would suggest Money and Kiplinger's Personal Finance for
- magazines.
-
- When you have gotten your feet wet with a few investments, understand how
- to pick a mutual fund, know how to do rudimentary portfolio allocation,
- and start to wonder about things like "how do interest rates affect equities or
- bonds?", or "should I try market timing?" or "how is technical analysis done?"
- then you will probably want to graduate to Barrons, Forbes, WSJ, or Investors
- Business Daily.
-
- Business Week, Fortune, or INC are not so much geared for the investor as
- they are for the executive or entrepreneur. Although they are excellent
- reading for finding investment ideas.
