I think the best investment media today is TastyTrade.com. Imagine if CNBC were actually helpful, and if the hosts were real traders who let you in on what they're doing in real time.

They trade options and futures a lot which aren't right for a brand new investor, but it's great content regardless. They talk about pork bellies on Bloomberg and I'm never going to invest in them. They've got a research team, emulating the hedge fund model, and they turn out a research piece literally every day. Check out the podcast.

These guys built ThinkOrSwim, had a $600MM exit, and now they're just giving everything away. They've also built a great (free) options trading platform, Dough.com. Notable if only to show you how these guys run their business.

Also, useful to read Random Walk down Wall Street and understand the efficient market hypothesis.
