Maybe one of you can help me out? I'm a very novice investor, but I think I'd like to get into investing stocks. Where are some good resources for me to research? Any magazines, websites, books that might help me?
I'll let you know a little bit about what I have going right now. I put around 20% of my paycheck into my 401k and 457. I think I'm pretty diversified there--I have small, mid, and large cap funds, an index fund, and bonds. I contribute to a pension fund, which will pay me 100% of my highest salary when I retire at 65. I also own one piece of income property, and I'm hoping to use the equity in that to purchase another piece next year.
I keep those investments to make sure that my family is secure in the future, but I think that the right stocks are a great way to ensure wealth, not just security.
What would you financial gurus suggest?
