Banker anon here, no questions, just want to respond to this guy because he was polite and the thread 404d:

>I'm a wage slave looking to get into investing as a means to get wealth over the long term. What resources are reliable that you suggest to teach me what I need to know?

>Thanks for your time.

If you're interested in learning about investment, I would suggest investopedia, they are a really good pragmatic resource for investment/finance information. I still use them to learn about concepts to this day because they are so comprehensive.

My own personal view is that stock picking is for suckers (and this is actually a pretty widely held view among economists) so your best bet is to just make a portfolio using ETFs and adjusting it to your risk tolerance (i.e determining an appropriate mix of cash, fixed income (bond) etfs, and stock etfs)

I hope you see this and good luck anon. Just remember, never become a gambler in the stock market.
