> Investopedia is a fantastic resource for theoretical concepts.
That you'd recommend investopedia over something as elementary as Bodie's Investments is awesome.
> Which is the exact thing that OP asked about.
There's nothing theoretical about what OP asked, /u/hydrocyanide answered it perfectly.
> Which can also be found in an entry level Finance course in University.
Do you think Shiller recommends investopedia.com to his students?
If you're looking for somewhat of a comprehensive textbook, this has quite a bit of information you may be looking for. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0073530700/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1415848966&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40
As other users suggested, you may want to look into basic accounting / financial reporting as well. It puts some of the ratios into perspective and it's pretty essential for someone interested in finance. If you can get your hands on some CFA material, that could help as well.
No offense taken, although I am not sure communication went across on this one. I don't expect a return on commodities. They're volatile, but 50 years down the road, like most currencies, I'd expect them to retain some value. How much is uncertain, and it's not going to be the part of my portfolio that I expect to grow steadily.
Diversifying with indexes sounds like a good idea to compensate for the fact that I am best suited to evaluate a tech company's capabilities, and not so much other domains.
I'm just disappointed that you would tell me to stop researching and instead leaving me with the simplest of options when I want to put in the effort to learn the underlying concepts and mechanics of the markets and start doing sensible investments. I learnt my current profession by myself, reading books and creating my own projects, and it just happens that I'm now dabbling in finance, and if I happen to start liking it in the end as much as I like it now, it will surely end up more than just a side learning experiment.
If I'm not ready to invest, as you seem to mean, I won't do it right away. But some day, I will do it.\
NB: I'm currently reading this: http://www.amazon.com/Investments-Zvi-Bodie/dp/0073530700/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1398779011&sr=1-1&keywords=investments+9th
Should you know other academical (i.e. not opinion pieces at this time of my learning, cause everyone's got one) books that may help me, I'd be happy to know about them.
