Ask HN: How to start learning about investments
3 by DeathArrow | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I know basically zero about investing and stocks, mutual funds, XFDs, ETFs and FOREX seems most accessible investment vehicles. I want to start investing some money and before doing it I want to learn how to do it. I don't plan to get super rich by doing this but to improve my financial situation. What I want is to learn how not to lose money and being able to correctly asses the risks and rewards. There are sites like investopedia but they seem generic and articles aren't well connected with each other. I don't expect to have a learning path or certificates or nanodegrees or even complete tutorials like on Udemy, Coursera or Udacity. But I want a way to have some structured information. So where do you suggest I can start? How to find good materials that I can learn from? How to structure the information and do a learning plan?
