This is probably the worst place to ask this question, but I'll try anyway. Which are the easiest texts to learn Econometrics and Time Series Analysis. Also the most easy and user friendly software/ programmes for Econometrics.Thankxxxx

Pick up "Market Models" by Carol Alexander if you are looking for clear, intuitive presentations of simple time series concepts.

If you want something that's easy and good, buy the econometrics book by Griffiths, Hill, and Judge. I forgot its title, but I read and absorbed most of the material in less than two weeks. It's a perfect place to start.
