Definitely visit websites like Fool.com to learn the lingo and basics of investing. You may want to start reading the Wall Street Journal and/or Financial Times as well, as they provide great articles on the economy and the business world. If you're not into reading, check out television programs on CNBC that may also give you some useful information.
Also, we have a few very knowledgable people here on the forums (ie: LK, Brainsmile) who may be able to answer questions that you may have as you learn.
In response to Welfare's post. Investing in stocks IS a scenario where you could lose all of your money. Whenever you put money into a stock, just be prepared to never see that money again. If you choose to seek outside advice (ie: personal broker), be sure to do your OWN research before heading in there. As Welfare pointed out, you can get burned by even those who have chosen 'investing' as a career.
