Well this will depend on what you want to do first. From my experience and first hand knowledge as a beginner options would be something to get your feet wet with minimal loss because with any investment there are losses. I suggested "Options Made Easy and The Bible of Options both you can see on my live space www.newdirection5.spaces.live.com as well as read Warren Buffet "The Warren Buffett Way" and Peter Lynch to get an idea how the market works. It is good to learn the history Peter Lynch book is very good "Learn to Earn" You can get them all on my site.

I know a lady who teaches indices and forex, funnily enough she is American but based in the U.K she teaches people how to trade and within three weeks she guarantees that you will be able to trade with her system. I spoke to her on the phone only a few days ago..I am not ready to devote 5/6 hours a day here as I have too much on, but when I go to U.S to visit hubby and I will have more time I am considering it.. also you can learn forex for free on babypips.com..they are brilliant..every time I have some spare moment I go there to study..when I am ready I will start to mock trade on the trading platforms..hope this helps..

currency pairs..and the market is open 24 hours, depending on the pairs you want to trade..when the market is slow you can trade stocks, indices..

My husband and I were just talking about this today!! I'm really good about saving money and I have our savings in an account earning 4.5% interest. But when it comes to investing money, we don't know much about it at all. That's where we are missing out. Now that my husband is back to steady work again, we want to start investing. I will be watching this discussion closely to see what advice other members give you.
