you should take anything on motley fool with a pinch of salt. their writers are basically paid on volume of articles now and come up with some real crap; often contradicting their old views!
i was bought the below ~10 yrs ago by my grandfather who has done very well for himself through investing. it is a very good book and teaches you all the fundamentals - written by an esteemed FT author
day to day i would also highly recommend the investor's chronicle podcast, as well as FT's money show podcast. while the IC's companies and markets show is currently suspended, they still get a lot of interesting people on (read; fund managers). they had the polar capital technology fund manager on earlier this year - seriously smart guy who really knows his shit... although that whole sector has gone bonkers this year, the polar capital fund has outperformed tech sector ETFs
Can anyone recommend any resources,books, websites, etc for learning about investing in the stock market? I'm very aware I know precious little about how it all works and would like to know more. Been reading some of the free articles on the Motley Fool site and getting some of the basics (I think) but a lot of it still seems a bit of a mystery.
