if i can add up to your resource list, try this,
Step-by-Step Stock Investing for Beginner
http://www.stock-investment-made-easy.com/
It covers how to pick a good stock, calculate its intrinsic value and invest within its margin of safety.

As part of your over-all education, get hold of a book titled:
The Little Book That Beats The Market by Joel Greenblatt.
This book explains much about the techniques used by "value" investors.
Vanguard.com has good on-line resources on investing. Fool.com also has a lot of info for beginners.

Just stop in your local library. There should be a finance section. Pick out a couple of books on general investing to get started. Best of all - it's free.

I've used Yahoo finance for years because it has so much info and actual market & stock tracking (free)
http://finance.yahoo.com/
There is the investing ed 101 & glossary link , about 1/2 way down on the left .
You can check any stocks charts and the key stats link is fabulous because you can see how much debt they have , how much revenue , what % their earning growth is growing Year Over Year (YOY) .
for example , check out Apple Computers
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=aapl
then check their key stats link . . .
Plus there are a varitey of columnists so you don't get just one person's investing ideas .
Good Luck !

The local library is a great idea. I'd recommend "A random walk down wall street."
