Good Reads for Stock Market Investing

Well since then the market has not been bearish at all. Even with Trump in the market went up and even had some record highs before the pandemic. The other trend that we see now is the dollar getting weaker in the crypto coins getting stronger day by day. In such uncertain times it's really important to know where and how to invest properly. One good example is Peyton Manning https://www.juststartinvesting.com/peyton-manning-net-worth/ and his net worth which was built through great decisions throughout his life. I also want to make the same decisions and start investing wisely while I'm young.

I am not sure what you are asking. The question is way too vague.  Do you want books that will help you to get started investing?  Those are easy enough to find.  Just search for good starter books.  Here are a few that will get you started that are on most lists:

Malkiel¡¯s classic, ¡®A Random Walk Down Wall Street¡¯, which is on its umpteenth iteration, is a normal go-to.

Benjamin Graham¡¯s, ¡®The Intelligent Investor¡¯ is another old standby.

¡®The Bogleheads¡¯ Guide to Investing¡¯ is a good all-inclusive start-up type of book.

¡®Stock Investing for Dummies¡¯ is always a good book that lays out the basics.

¡®Psychology of Money¡¯ is one that is more tailored to the behavior aspects of investing and living.

However, there are many more advanced ones.  If you need some recommendations on those, I can list you some.

There are, of course, investing-style specific ones as well.  Many good ones on fundamental or technical analysis, for example.

Then there would be some on sector-specific investing. For example, stocks, bonds, real estate, mutual funds, etc.

Then there are more specific ones on day-trading, options trading, futures trading, currency trading, or commodity trading.

Again, I am sure I can recommend books on any of them if you can¡¯t find good ones with a search.

Or are you wanting articles to read?

If so, there are many good investing sites that have great articles archived and new articles daily.  There are many good forums online where investors (of all levels) discuss investing.

At any decent bookstore there are magazines that deal with everything from retirement investing on a simple basis to investing in commodities using technical analysis strategies.

Or are you simply asking the folks on here what to invest in?

The other part of it that is not clear, is where you are in your investing at this point?  Are you invested at all?  Do you have a 401k and trying to decide what to put it in?  Are you trying to invest longterm for retirement?  Are you just trying to pick a few good stocks and make some money short term?

Whatever the case may be, good luck to you.  And ask whatever questions you may have.  Some good folks on here will be willing to help you get started. 

Don't follow any of these investment advise sites. Learn the fundamentals and basic and practice with practice account. Investopedia.com is your best friend...you can basically look up any term investment related and they will have the definition with good example. All these sites like motely fool, zacks, market bets or any others that touts stocks and analysts are simply market manipulators funded by hedge funds--there main function is to get investors to buy and sell compulsively. Lot of behavioral psychology goes into these things when they structure things in these media and most of it is investor behavior manipulation. There are so many advisors in social media and most are clueless, however, many have massed subscribers/followers because 2020 and early 2021 has been great after the march 2020 market crash and almost anything you buy has been a winner--but those who continue to follow them will have sad ending. What you need to know is that hedge funds are still kings and they move money from sector to sector while manipulating retail traders to react and buy/sell at the wrong time. If you want to be successful long term, you have to learn to ignore the noise from media/social media which are mostly there to manipulate your behavior decisions. Simply spend 30 mins to an hour a day on Investopedia to learn about different topics. If you like following someone, I recommend Betting Resource. They are sports handicapping site but their bonus market outlook that they do few times a month has been spot on. They have some very interesting things to say about what is yet to come and its a perspective and outlook that media want talk about as the condition the retail traders. 

i just stumbled onto investopedia and it seems like a really good site..bluejay, i take it you don't use a premium site such as zachs, motley, yahoo and such..i was thinking about getting yahoo down the road

I don't use any of those premium sites. I recommend reading the monthly and quarterly market out look by "betting resource" and following their option suggestions. They have very good insight into the market. According to them, big financial sites like zacks, motely etc exist to manipulate investor behavior and make you buy and sell things at the wrong time. They have information but the articles are there make the retail investor to buy and sell which benefits the hedge funds because they use derivatives leverage everything. It is very true. i used to use zack and motely before and they have lot of information but the timing was always off when i follow their news. Betting resource directed me to investopedia to self learn the basics and their articles helped a lot. They are not stock site. It is a sports site but their stocks/options content even though not much is very informative and profiable. I posted some of their option plays here BB, ROOT etc and they all gained massively. For instance, the root call they suggested was trading as low as 5 cents and went to $2.30 today for a massive 4600% gain. I sold half positions and i am holding other half for potential squeeze. 

As for yahoo, i don't pay. they pump a lot of articles from other premium sites too in the free section and mostly to manipulate investor decisions/behavior. However they are good for watching tickers. But they are not live. I used to use yahoo for monitoring tickers but now i dont use them anymore. I use Finviz elite to monitor tickers and charts.

Everything explained in layman's terms and some topics/definitions even have idiot proof videos to help you understand the basics. IMO, with the amount of information on the internet nowadays, you should NOT be paying for any books on INTRODUCTORY investing. For advanced topics/strategies, yes but be sure to read the review(s) about it first.

Just perform an simple internet/youtube search and Im sure you will find a source that will explain a particular topic well. Be cautious though, I would recommend that you read from different sources because any one source may be explaining a certain topic wrong..
