Welcome to the forums. Lots of things to learn but getting the basics down is not that difficult. Do you know what style of investing is most attractive to you? Do you want to be active and day trade or do short term trends or longer term value or dividend plays? I'm not sure if you found this forum yet, https://stockaholics.net/forums/educational-videos-and-material.20/ It has some pretty good stuff to get you started. Also do not hesitate to post questions in the other forums. Join us in live chat if you have time, most activity is on market days.
Welcome Mcb, I'm new here myself but I've understood markets for a while but surely no expert. Just learn all you can and have patience. I heard a quote once to the effect, "Enthusiasm is required for most endeavors but can cost you in the stock market", and tho that's not word for word you get the point. That has helped me.
Hi Mcb welcome aboard ... IMO JerryM already gave you a good advice .. start from yourself then you will see which road you want to take ..
