Where Can I Go (physically, Not Online) To Learn About The Stock Market?

I have a bachelor’s degree in telecommunications and I love working with television, but I would like to do some stock trading on the side. I am more than willing to work hard at learning this. But would any schools let me take courses based on having a bachelor’s in a different field? I am not talking about obtaining another bachelor’s degree, but rather a few courses. Thank you.

    One good place to go if you don’t want to get some books is the TV, channel cnbc is pretty good I pick up a lot from it. You can also get video books on this subject.

    I don’t think you can learn at school how to trade well in the stock market. Because people who are teaching at school probably don’t know how to do it well. Or else they would be busy making money in the stock market, instead of teaching at school for relatively low wages.
    In stock trading, people who don’t understand it well usually have a lot to say about it. And those who do understand it well usually keep quiet about it. Because they want to keep the advantage they have over other traders. It’s a competitive business. And it doesn’t make sense to share your better understanding with your competition.
    Sometimes unscrupulous stock market traders give tips to others in order to benefit themselves. Once in a while you hear some well known Hedge Fund manager proclaim that China is the place to invest or Japan presents a tremendous opportunity. And as naive investors rush to buy, this fund manager unloads his holdings to them at a good price.
    If you want to be successful in stock trading. Then you need to read, experiment, and practice until you come up with some good ideas and trading strategies that work well for you.

    Most finance class are huge at Universities and can sneak in and listen to the professor while learning with others, without having to take the test on your own. OR I have old power point lectures if you want them, they are from my investments class last semester.

    “Stock Investing For Dummies” is a great starter book – easy to read and covers the basics.
