If you enjoy working with and developing spreadsheets, I couldn't recommend more highly "Online Investing Hacks" by Bonnie Biafore. This is a great "how to" book. Look for Bonnie's monthly column in Better Investing magazine.

Avoid "Phone Tree Hell" when calling a company to speak to a live person. Here is a convenient shortcut--and it's free. Use Bringo, a website that gets you to a live person automatically. Go to:
http://www.nophonetrees.com. Bringo has a growing list of companies available for this "shortcut" service. When on the Bringo site find the company you want and enter your phone number. Once Bringo has a live person on the line it calls you back
