Depends a bit on your learning style but some options


investopedia.com/ :is a good reference for definitions/formula calculations and such
contrarianedge.com/ :smart guy, interesting site as he has general musing on things that aren't stocks
medium.com/@simplywallst :number of articles on getting into stock investing, done by some guys that have a visual investing app
seekingalpha.com/ :good combo of articles and news

Some books to read
stocktradingtogo.com/2008/08/08/twenty-must-read-investing-books/

Try to watch a bit CNBC or every once in while, not for stock recommendations (dear god please don't!) but handy to expose you to different things going on in the market and also terms, and what other people look at in investing.

Motley Fool use to be good but now they just seem to be interested in clickbait, ie "make 1000% on this one industry!" rather then the value investing they were interested in when starting out.

And definitely interact with forums and such, to see what other people are doing and get free advice.

But a stock that is slowly rising in share price, over a few weeks or months, might not necessarily stand-out on any 1 particular day. A stock could slowly rise by 3% 1 week, 2% the next, 4% the next, etc... But no big jumps on any single day.

Are there any websites or stock market tools, that help investors identify stocks that have made impressive gains, over say 10-days.....2 weeks, 30-days....2-months....etc ?

There are various websites & forums which are dealing with stock market news & updates. Moreover, you can also go through official websites of stock exchange, which use to provide market updates on the real time basis.

Check out Mungofitch's posts on Motley Fool (boards.fool.com) - a very smart, very patient and very nice guy with lots of good advice, particularly regarding Berkshire, options, and quant investing.
He reminds me of the Dos Equis guy.

Doug Kass a renowned hedge fund investor has a blog that has quite useful market information. He recently added, "Though my risk profile is relatively conservative for a hedge fund manager, at times I get aggressive when the upside or downside is compelling."

He went short the markets last week, seems like he did pretty well with a nice call.

His Website at http://dougkassblog.blogspot.com

The poster below made this post on March 13, 2009, advising the OP to get out of the market. Hahaha, too funny as the market was due to go on one of the biggest bull runs in the history of the stock market.....

So much for people who think they can time the market!
