There are tons of investing tools out on the internet.  Calculators, guides, and tutorials are just a few of the options available to us.  Ultimately whatit all boils down to is knowledge.  In the information age knowledge is power and many of us are showing up to the fight with a pea shooter instead of a bazooka.  To get started on the path to understanding investments I have found very few places that compare with Investing101 by the LA Times.  This 10 part guide to investments is really a great start for any new comer to investing.  It covers everything from diversification to defining different types of investments.  This is a must read for anyone just entering the job market or who wants to actually understand what has been going on in their 401k for all those years.  Even for experienced investors this is a great refresher.
