Passive investing and acquiring information as a newbie

[Ronak Bhimani]

Hey guys, this is my first post! Just wanted to see what y'all thought on the best way to start investing and gathering information in a brand new market. I just moved to the Philadelphia area, have some capital,  but definitely at the very beginning stages of learning. Involved in the medical field so my whole life, my education has been focused on sciences, so very limited exposure to the business world unfortunately. Have started to go through the blog posts on here and the podcasts/websites, but definitely feels overwhelming at times. Anyone have any specific tips on what are some of the core principles, and where to find them, you need to establish before jumping in? Thanks guys love reading the forum so much!
