Re: Beginning to Invest
 

I highly recommend checking out bobbrinker.com. Brinker hosts a very informative radio talk show every Saturday & Sunday (usually runs from 4-7pm local time). Check for a local station here: www.bobbrinker.com/radio.asp. He also maintains a recommended reading list on his website that includes many of the outstanding books already mentioned in previous posts.

My advice with the $1K, keep it in government backed safe investment and use it for school. Your education is the best investment you'll ever make.

I really like Bob Brinker also, and I try to listen to his radio show every weekend. He knows his stuff, whether it's the stock market, real estate, or economics.
