The Winning Investor podcast is pretty good for beginning investors.  Investopedia, Fool.com, and Morningstar are also great sites for looking for pointers on terms and funds.

If you're looking to invest, it should ideally be for a long period of time (5+ years) to ride out the instability of the market.  "Get rich quick schemes" typically end up putting you in a poor position because you more than likely will sell when it's down due to the volatility.

To be honest bro, I think it's something you really have to learn for yourself through taking risks and observing other people's failures. If reading about stocks and getting such info was easy, everyone would be rich.
