2. Read the WSJ every day. When you don't understand something, check Investopedia. It's geared towards beginners. If something piques your interest, research further. Preferably by reading an actual book that was published by an actual publisher. IE, No e-books lol.

The Hard Way

1. Try to at least get through Level I of the CFA.

Also, stay away from CNBC. If you're a TV person, watch Bloomberg
