correlation coefficient goes from -1 to 1.
-1 means there's a negative correlation.
1 means there's a positive correlation.
0 means there is no correlation.

here's a reference.

there are many more on the web.

the reference gets into more detail than you probably need right now, but the basic lesson is that the relationship between the variables involved can't be determined to be either negative or positive, therefore it's inconclusive, i.e., no strong relationship exists.

here's another reference that may not be as detailed, but still talks about the basic concepgt.
