Good reading material for someone who wants to be better informed on mutual funds?
Most of my reading of late has switched from fiction to magazines and books that have information I can use in life. I was thinking about subscribing to a magazine if there is a good one that would help keep me informed on what mutual funds are good, and how they are expected to perform. I'm looking for stuff that someone who is not investment buisiness can understand. Any suggestions. The first two that came to mind for me are Forbes magazine, and the Wall Street Journal but I can't say I have ever read either of those.
I'm really looking for printed reading material not a website, and I don't paste blind links into my browser that I don't know where they lead to but thanks anyway.
The link that I had an issue with wasn't the Morning-star one. There was another poster that made the first post and he had a really strange looking address that he wanted me to put in my browser. I see his post is no longer present so I am assuming that someone else may have reported him as a spammer. In either case I was looking for printed material since one of the only rooms in my house that I can get enough quite to do any reading isn't somewhere I would bring my laptop. I'll take a look later and try to pick a best answer. Really appreciate all of the help. Most of the answers look like they are probably pretty good.

A good paperback book, "investing for dummies". Check out
your local library for investment books. Here are several fund
symbols that I think are great funds, Check them out on

Go to your bookstore or newsstand, look for Kiplinger, Smart Money, or Money magazine. The Wall Street Journal or financial section of the New York Times are good reading on daily financial stuff.
You can also check out Morningstar, and CnnMoney - web sites. I would list them, but apparently you don't want this. Morningstar is where I do most of my stock & mutual fund research.
Investing for Dummies by Eric Tyson, is a good primer on investing & money.

You don't paste ehow and morningstar into your browser? How about google.com, wikipedia, microsoft, etc? Get and install avast! free anti-virus and feel relatively safe going wherever you want.
Anyway, Forbes and WSJ are pretty much meant for people who know more than you. Start with beginner books and move up to those.
