Yahoo! Finance has sections with great basic information on stocks, mutual funds, options, etc. The Motley Fool Web site is also a good place to start, as is a book called "The Motley Fool's Rule Breakers, Rule Makers" by David and Tom Gardner, which you can find at any bookstore or Amazon.com. This lays out stock-picking strategies for up-and-coming growth stocks and for tried-and-true large-company value stocks. Another useful Web site with lots of good basic information is clearstation.etrade.com, run by the e-trade brokerage company.

Brealey & Myers book PRINCIPLES OF CORPORATE FINANCE is the standard introductory text book for top MBA programs. It contains the information you want.
If you want something a little more advanced, then the Investments book by Bodie, Cane and Marcus would be a good source.
