>is there a point to continuing and trying to learn the stock market
Actively trading requires a certain level of crazy and it's certainly not for everybody. There are other ways though and it's always worthwhile to try your best to get some kind of grasp on the stock market. Recommend the good old proven and true long hold and regularly cost average the index method. Basically you hold and add money in at regular intervals, once every couple months or so, regardless of what the market is doing. Sometimes you will be up, sometimes you will be down, but if you keep at it you will have added a significant amount of money to your investment over the course of ten or twenty years. If you are concerned about market crash, you may hedge with long term positions in bonds and gold.
