I'm looking to diversify some of my cash into stocks, bonds etc etc. If there is any area that I'm a little weak on its this. I have the standard IRA that us self-employed people can set up and I max out my yearly pre-tax amount every year but I want to start investing in places that offer stable returns for the long haul in larger amounts without taking it up the a$$.

I plan on starting out with a good chunk of money off the bat and then funding the account monthly. I've always had an ameritrade account and still do. So to all you guru's out there (yes this includes you MJ), any and all advise is welcome, be it in the form of books to read, or your own personal successes with investments and where you have your money now or websites that contain more info on this subject.

I've got no problem doing to the leg work, just need to be pointed in the right direction.
