Yahoo Finance is a good place to start. You might want to take a look at the book "The Little Book that Beats the Market" - short, fun, and very informative. You might want to also take a look at http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money.

finance.yahoo.com has a wealth of information.
A good book to read is "The Intelligent Investor"
On line sites to research and invest through include:
For mutual funds I like Vanguard.
For stocks check out Scottrade and ShareBuilder.

Read the book, "Understanding Wall Street", and check out www.stockcharts.com for fundamental/technical analysis info. Make sure you understand technical analysis before you invest.
