Reading Books:  
These are the two beginner books we read that helped us solidify our knowledge of stocks and investing fundamentals:

Reading Daily Newspapers:  
If you have to choose two newspapers, these two cover very specific company/stock-related information (i.e., The Wall Street Journal), and then there's the more general national "current events" updates that are so critical to follow (i.e., USA Today). 

Jim Cramer has said on his show that he reads them both daily.  We do.  You should too.
We searched (and provided for you below) the best offers that both offer:

The Wall Street Journal.  This link is the best deal we could find, directly from WSJ.

The USA Today Daily.  This link is the best deal we could find, directly from USA Today.

Watch a lot of TV... Really!:  
There's something to be said for listening and learning.  Business TV Networks such as CNBC, Bloomberg and Fox Business Channel provide excellent business news and reporting.  For more information about these channels, see Step 520, here >
