The financial markets are, indeed, confusing at times.
And, when you’re trying to invest on your own, without formal education, you often feel like you are in uncharted territory, navigating an unknown world.
However, the internet is a veritable treasure trove of financial information. Here’s a great article that explains some of the basics of the stock market:

Industrial Average, the DJIA.
What’s particularly intriguing about this article is that the author goes to great pains to break it down to laymen’s terms AND makes it fascinating as he goes into a brief (2 paragraph) history of the stock market.
I can’t recommend it highly enough!
