NPR: More Money ... And More ... And Yours

More Money ... And More ... And Yours

Today in our reporters' roundtable, we talked through the race riots in France; restricting guns for people with mental health records; and the economic downturn in the United States and abroad.

Specifically, we focused on how reporters are transmitting economic info to folks who don't know the jargon. Are you getting what you need?

Well, we have Howard University economist Bill Spriggs on Monday, and it's a perfect time to ask about mortgages, the stock market ... or whatever you please.

I have a Stocks 101 question. If I want to start investing in a company, is there a preferred way to do it? Can I buy shares directly from a company, or should I use a third party brokerage site? Does it make a difference? Also, is there anything besides the company's financials I should be reading to get insight on the company's performance?
