I am not affiliated with this group but I found an article on their site that gives tips to investors that are just starting out. I hope that the article is very helpful if you are thinking about or are just starting out in investing.

That's a pretty interesting site. I know when I was a beginner, I needed all the help I could get.

That is a great website. We're still "novices" and are gathering all of the info we can, so this has been super helpful!
