Where do I start with learning about investing and retirement planning?
missp asked:
I have been an assitant to a financial advisor for 6 months and I am not satisfied with just knowing how to fill out forms and where to send them. I would like to know the meaning behind most of the financial world’s jargon (ETF’s, IRA’s, SIMPLE Plan, etc.) and also how to go about researching stocks. Where would I start? I really don’t have any knowledge of these things besides tid bits I picked up around the office. Any book suggestions for a beginner or any links?
