How can I learn about stocks, mutual funds equity and other investments?
The best way to start is with these type of forums. I have learned many such things, which I might not have learned on my own. Since 2007, I am a member of this forum.
You can additionally opt for Newspapers like Economic Times & Business Standard and start with paper trading. Paper trading means, take a pen along with the newspaper and go on underlining the news which you think can affect any particular share price. Then on the top of the page, write the name of stock and what you are thinking about it. Whether it will go up or down (mark arrows). Slowly, you will get to know about the factors affecting share price. Keep the newspaper safe with you, and check on your analysis the very next day. Was your prediction right or wrong? This was the technique, I used to learn on my own.
Also, there is a great content available on youtube. You can go for those things. But the repetition rate of topics will be very high. It will cost you much time. You can take a small course of someone who teach Basics of stock market., so you will get to know about the technical jargons & terms used in the stock market.
Hope I have answered your query.
