"Investing for your future" is a basic investing home-study course available online. The 11-unit home study course was developed by the Cooperative Extension system for beginning investors with small dollar amounts to invest. It is aimed at those who may be investing for the first time or selecting investment products, such as a stock index fund or unit investment trust, that they have not purchased previously.

It has some valuable information and some cute graphics, such as the "investment pyramid" (reminiscent of the "food pyramid"):

And it also has some exotic terminology that I haven't come across before, such as "loanership"!

All in all, a good read for a cold winter's night in front of the PC with a cup of hot chocolate.
