Investopedia.com and Thismatter.com are the best for general education. Several books such as A Beginner's Guide to Short-Term trading by Toni Turner and Mastering the Trade by John Carter are great books to read as well. There are plenty sources information, and you can find them here: http://www.stockmarketresources.blogspot.com

You should also read the general investing books as well as fundamental analysis books, to get a real feel for the markets. Those resources are also on that site.

Resources in the stock section are good for backgrounds, and the technical analysis and trading sections are likely to help you most. Good luck, and feel free to contact me with any questions.
