>When you search for courses on how to learn software development, there are tons of resources, meanwhile when you search for courses on how to stock trade and invest, only investopedia comes up.
I think the problems are similar for both subjects. When you search for software development, where would you even start? What language? Web, mobile, embedded? The software development world is large and there's no good single resource to "learn" it.
Ditto for investing; it might even be a larger subject. If you want to "learn to invest" because you want to save money, your best bet is to use a service that buys ETFs, contribute money monthly and never look at it.
However, if you're interested in investing as an art/science, there's a vast literature. Stocks? Bonds? Private equity? Distressed assets? Real estate? Cryptocurrency? Options, futures or other derivatives? Long or short? Active or passive? Fundamental or technical? On what scale do you plan to hold your investments?
The fact is, there's no right way to start. You have to narrow it down. I see a few recommendations to read financial reports. Sure, maybe. But this isn't 1975; I bet 75% of financial professionals have never read a 10k.
