so far, i seem drawn to mining stocks, gold and silver and a sprinkling of diamond, which is pretty risky. really need to spread it out.

Yes you should learn how to invest, otherwise you will work for money for the rest of your life.
I would recommend The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham if you want to learn how to value invest. Also check out
www.buffettsbooks.com I found the info here extremely useful and easy to understand when I first started. The best value investing geared website is
www.gurufocus.com
If you want to to learn how to trade stocks, check out a book How To Make Money in Stocks by William O'Neil. He uses a theory called CANSLIM and it really works! His website is
www.investors.com
Those 2 books were really helpful getting me started. Anything by Peter Lynch is also a good read.
