I have a relatively good amount of cash sitting around and before I actually start dumping money I'd like find out more information on how stock trading in general, how to pick out relatively safe stocks, weeklies, options and all of that sort.

Can some of you veterans direct me to some online resources for information and any books/articles I should read? I'd like to have a relatively broad and extensive knowledge of how everything works before putting actual money in

First tip...avoid options until you've got a lot more experience
