bobbyi can you recommend then a good financial planning style book. I've just heard that despite rich dad poor dads small amount of real information it is well presented and teaches essential ideas for someone who probably just sucks at these things generally.

Sorry, I don't know much about this stuff. I'm just starting to try to figure it out myself as I now for the first time actually have money to invest; until six months ago, I was just pouring all my money into paying off my car and oodles of student loans.

An excellent book which will teach you an awful lot about individual stock selection is "How to Make Money in Stocks" by William J. O'Neill, the founder of "Investors Business Daily" newspaper. Much of the conventional wisdom regarding stock selection is incorrect and this book does a good job of clearing up some of the misconceptions at least to an extent. If you are interested in trading, I recommend the three "Market Wizards" books by Jack Schwager which are interviews from the world's greatest traders.

I have been an investment professional (stock broker/commodities broker/investment advisor/insurance agent/etc.) for my entire career and I have studied the financial markets extensively for the last 15 years. Any of you can PM me anytime for all the free investment/financial advice you want.
