Hi,

I am a 17 year old high school student who is interested in learning as much as I can about investment and the share market. Over the past two years I have dabbled with howthemarketworks.com and managed to grow my portfolio by 95% over the 24 month period, which I thought was something to be quite proud of. I've got a bit of cash behind me that I'm willing to put into some investments for the purpose of learning and seeing if I can replicate my previous success. What are the best ways to do this as I have no clue and my parents have all their investments done through their accounts manager, so they aren't much help. Anyone have any experience in the investment banking field of work ? What books should I read ? What skills do I need to acquire to be successful with my investments ?

All feedback and advice will be appreciated, looking to learn as much as possible.

Cheers,

Ben Hamilton
