My personal study is coming along well. This interest started because I want to understand how speculation/trading might have had a positive or negative impact on things like global food prices, gas prices and the previous recessions/crashes. I am very interested in CDO/Futures/Options/Commodity trading and such. I am also not picking up many basics(101) of the stock market as quickly as I want(Feel I should).
I am tired of hearing republican or democrat spins on the stock market.
Can you recommend some sites, people, books or other resources that have helped you or you know would be helpful? Over the next few months(years?) I would like to be able to make intelligent and informed decisions on the economy and stock market on my own without as much insight(spin) from politicians.
Yes, I know college is the best option. However, I am unable to pursue that. Therefore I am asking for your help and opinions on good sites. Where should someone like myself begin?
Thanks in advance!
I feel as if I am getting sales pitches here.
