Answer Hi. If you are interested in pursuing investments for personal interest, then there are a number of resources you can follow. Before I recommend them, please share with me in more detail the information you are trying to learn. For example, the different ways to invest, how to analyze investments, how much a person needs to save to meet their goals, etc. Also, are you looking for ongoing information or are you more interested in one time resources that you can study and learn, or both? Let me know and I will be happy to provide some insight.
