Good start to learning about investing...WSJ?

What would you recommend for a 21 year old to start learning more about markets and investment plans. My girlfriends dad said he has always read the WSJ and has a subscription to the value line. Is this pretty sound advice.

If you are a student the wsj is really cheap, like 100 dollars a year. I learned about investing by investing.

Not worth the money for learning about investing. Online resources and libraries are free, first rule of investing...don't waste money.

WSJ isn't a starter paper.

I like investopedia. Lots of good tools and tutorials about investing as well as other personal finance topics.

With all due respect, I was a loyal reader of zerohedge for several years. Thankfully, at the time (09-12), I didn't have any extra cash to invest, or else I would have lost an *ssload listening to them. Much to my dismay (and everyone else on there), the world did not end already.
The second poster actually had it correct - start with Stock Investing for Dummies. This will start you at the very beginning. After that, depending on how active you want to be in the market / what you want to invest in will dictate what/who you should follow. For me personally, William O'Neals books (and Investors Business Daily) were a gold-mine. But I was (am) a much more active investor.
Good luck.

I started investing when a friend of mine became a finacial planner. It costs me nearly nothing and I have a great life insurance policy, a 401k, a Roth IRA, and an "oh shite" fund.
Go to a place like Northwestern Mutual and do a little starter fund, playing the indexes and such. It's good that you're starting to think about these things at 21, good for you man.
