The stock market has had a couple of good weeks in a row but unless you’re invested in it, the recovery isn’t doing you much good. If you haven’t a clue about where to start in the stock market, Morningstar.com’s Investing Classroom offers a bunch of free online tutorials to teach you the basics about stocks, mutual funds, bonds, and portfolio building.

Like a college curriculum, you can advance from Stocks 101: Stocks Versus Other Investments up through Portfolio 502: Efficient Market Theory. Each section concludes with a quiz that earns you credits. With your credits you can buy free stuff, like a premium membership to their investing tips — which will come in handy once you know your stuff. So even if you’re not an investing novice, everyone can take something away from the program.

The stock market can seem daunting but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you’re investing megabucks for fun or squirreling away a few dollars a week for retirement, free online resources like these are great for allowing you to catch up to — and even surpass — your peers on a financial level.
