Re: YABI (Yet Another Beginning Investor)
I think I understand your question, so here's a couple of things:
1) I don't know what book would help, try all the books in other threads. The Market is a pretty vague thing, so I don't know what you're asking. There's THE STOCK MARKET, THE REAL ESTATE MARKET, THE BOND MARKET, etc... You should really try to understand them all, or at least understand one enough to make intelligent decisions.
2) $1000 isn't that much. It's not bad, but you're not going to see a lot of reward with that kind of investment. Assuming a decent 8% return for 50+ years, you're only looking at $60Kish. So in your words, you can't "make as much money as possible, as fast as possible, with as little risk as possible."
It sounds like you're looking for an easy answer, and there isn't one. The good news is there IS a complicated answer that is readily available through lots of studying. Good luck!
