Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I’m new at trading and have been slowly educating myself about investing. Sites such as investopedia and Bloomberg hav been a big help. If you are an active investor can you recommend some sites, forums or any good books that can help to build my knowledge? Thanks.

Hoping if people could recommend some good reads for a relatively new investor. Something to really help me learn and understand what I’m doing while I am investing.

i know this one 21 year old guy. He’s got alot of money i’m sure. He’s a swing trader and an investor in stock markets plus he runs his own affiliate marketing online business. He simultaneously follows the markets everyday and runs his business, smart guy. When it comes to days off he says he likes video games and wants an xbox 360 but can’t afford to spend so much money on a video game. What i don’t understand is if he has the money to put in $5000+ once a month for investments and trading why can’t he afford to get $200 xbox, is he just being cheap?
