How to learn the stock market/economy from the start.?

What is the best way that you would recommend learning the ins and outs of the stock market and the economy. Yes, I understand that those are two distinct concepts in and of themselves, but they certainly are related.

I don’t want to wait a year or so before I start getting to it in classes. How can I start from very simple, elementary styled learning, and get to rigorous Warren Buffet type analysis?

Thanks

What can you tell me about the stock market?

Anything I might need to know, with a source if possible.
The best answer will go to the one who gives me the most amount of information OR who can answer this question:
Do people consider the stock market an adequate indicator of how well the US economy is doing? Please give a source, if possible.

Is the stock market a good indicator of how the economy is doing?

I hear from many people that if the stock market is doing well that that necessarily means the economy is doing well overall. But with the recent increase in oil prices, stagnant wages, the mortgage/credit crisis, and a government with a lot of unfunded liabilities, I find this kind of hard to believe. Can anyone give some objective info on this question?

What are the greater implications of all the stock market concerns?

I know very little about economics, the way the stock market works, the greater impact it has on the economy as a whole, etc.

I know enough to know that all the things happening now are not good. This may be a silly question, but why are the dropping numbers so problematic? What happens when the stock market drops as low as it has been? How will this impact the economy, and individuals?

This sounds like an essay question, and I’m not trying to cheat on homework anything. I’m really just curious, because I don’t know and I would like to.

Thanks!

mutual funds vs index and bonds?

I currently have my money invested in mutual funds. With the economy the way it is I’ve seen my money going down. I want to invest in something that will make money or at least be steady. I don’t want to lose anymore money. I asked the financial advisor that I had invested the mutual funds with. He has since left the company I have my mutual funds with and is with another financial institute. What I’d like to know is what is the best way to go. stick with mutual funds or invest in bonds or some kind of index fund?
