danalyst:

i really love your post as it shows desire to learn and benefit from stocks. the are so many books to read on stock and corporate finance. but i fear you may not understand them except you have a finance background. however, you may visit www.fools.com or www.babypips.com. you can learn stock from there.

also, as regards the course, you may choose to register for CIS- Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers or ICAN- Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria. for foreign exams, ACCA, CFA are advisable depending on your purse and your ultimate goal in life.

further, on the acronynms, IPO- Initial public Offer (meant for coys coming to the stcok market to raise fund from the public for the 1st time, while subsequent offers are known as PO- public offer).
