if so I was wondering where are good resources to learn about using the stock market.
My thoughts from learning the hard way is its gambling . People put a small investment in with the promise of much greater rewards .It goes against the Jesus teaching of the multiplying of talents. In 08 the whole thing could have collapsed and whats changed since ? . Just in the last weeks it dropped 1000 points . What if it drops back to 10,000 people will lose half their retirements ? .

Two rules for investing in stocks.
1. Don't invest money you don't have or cannot afford to invest.
2. Invest for the long term. There is no long term trend that shows investing in the stock market for the long haul is a bad idea as long one does so judiciously.
Your brokerage would have a treasure of knowledge. Brokerages are also offering robo advisers which is automated investment in stocks/bonds/mutual funds etc., based on your risk profile. Schwab's been working out quite well for me.if so I was wondering where are good resources to learn about using the stock market.
