    Hi, vithya,

    The two best sources that I know of are the Motley Fool, particularly the Learn to Invest section and the Fool School, and Incademy; there are also many excellent books.

  • Sounds to me like you are refering to the stock market, theres no such thing as the share market ;)

    In the stock market, you trade shares in companies, dont worry, everybody needs to start learning somewhere.

    Those links above are a good start.
    Here are a few more to get the ball rolling.

    http://www.bigcharts.com - now that you know how to read charts, get charts on your favorite stocks

    That should get your ball rolling.

    incademy is a great source for learning about the investment instruments and taxation.

    You should be wary of American sources of information as their dealing and taxation is different to ours.
