I want to start trading/investing in the stock market but I do not really understand the terms such as indexes, averages, etc. I also do not know how the whole stock market works. May someone summarize or provide me with a detailed website?

Thanks.

How often does a correction in the stock market turn into a full-blown recession?

Matt Humberto asked:


I’m interested in “leveraged indexes” (ex., SSO) that imitate the general movement of the stock market with increased power. However, if the market plummets, I’m twice as in trouble as I’d normally be.

I know that predicting the market is a difficult if not impossible task, but are there any early “warning signs” to warn me of an upcoming recession?

Historically, how many times have corrections (10% drop in the market) turned into a true, full-blown recession (20% drop or more in the market)?

Thanks for your help!

Correction: By “recession” I meant a bear market. Sorry for the confusion of terms.
