a couple of simple basic books
Wall Street Guide to Understanding Money & Markets
The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need.
If that was fun, look up Benjamin Graham "The Intelligent Investor"
Then start doing some mutual fund research on your own across a broad spectrum.
Precious Metals, Energy, Pacific Rim, Latin American, REIT, Microcap, Large Cap, blah, blah, blah.
I rebalance every year, mutual funds, 401ks and union annuitys.
Last but not least, brokers are full of 5h1t. Get an no frills discount broker, TD Ameritrade and many others.
