Identification

Many websites attempt to lure investors in with sensational promises of the "next big thing" or "huge profits." Stay away from these sites and look for reputable sites, including those of major brokerage firms such as Fidelity, and well-known financial websites such as Yahoo Finance, Google Finance and MSN. Also, websites such as Investopedia and Investor Words help with financial definitions, terms and "lingo."
Considerations

New investors and those with minimal knowledge of investing can benefit most from reading the plethora of information available free online. Sites that offer financial and trading courses for a fee are often a bit advanced and may be difficult to follow. Stock market news, trading tools, descriptions and details on trading are abundant, free and easy to understand on the websites listed previously as well as CNN Money, Forbes and others. Even sites that charge for full access offer a great deal of free useful and helpful education.
