For those who want to learn to invest, you could do worse than watching a few hours of Warren Buffett on YouTube. I'm serious. People watch these videos hoping to glean a hot tip or secret technique.

It's an optimistic outlook and a belief in good businesses. Once you have this very basic outlook internalized, then you break out the math and finance.
