Fundamental or technical analysis? What will determine the value of a stock or its price, which one to buy over another? Will you use sales and revenue and eps to determine value fundamentally, or trends in price and support and resistance and charts technically? Or just go with the flow and a feeling and leave it to chance?
What is your time frame? Long term or short term or in between? How do you determine "when" to enter and exit a position?
What is your risk level? Use risk management and protection and stops or just let it ride and leave it to chance (Buy & Hold)? Limited risk or unlimited volatility?

If you want to learn about trading, read a book by a trader. If you want to learn about investing, read a book by a successful investor, not a "finance text book" by a theoretician that has never traded. Jim Cramer is a sales person and actor with a terrible track record. He performs well on TV, but not in his investments. He's a petulant child, and thinks all of the voices inside his head are relevant; not a valid basis for making investment decisions.

Hi, i Am using http://topstockresearch.com/
they have very good combination of how to select stock(Stock Screening) as well as tutorial well explained.
You can start with a mock trading in rediff which will help you to learn more.
Several years old book are still good. The basics of the stock market remain the same. Supply and demand make price to move. I like simple explanation of it at

Also keep in mind that everybody would recommend you different books on investment depending on what they went through. Yet, not all book will fit you.

I have noticed some examples but they are a few years old and I would believe that some advice could possibly change over time. I'm looking for a base to start really and research my *** off as knowledge is important. I know nothing currently.
I am 22 just now and have a young family and really we just manage to get by like so many but I want to try and see what I can do with a little determination over the coming years
thank you
