Had a couple people ask me WTF I do / how'd I get into trading. Might be worth another thread / even another sub forum, but for now....
Books I'm slowly working through :
Capital in the 21st Century
The Intelligent Investor
Videos / online resources :
TastyTrade - options and fundamentals
edit - imgur embeds, apparently. Click through for various strategies on the first link, I'm going to try and link the individual images for easier reference here...

News / general "feel" reading :
https://worldview.stratfor.com/
https://www.marketwatch.com/
Various subreddits, forums, etc - some forums have people who break news before CNN does based on locality, employment, etc. So generally I'll use the news / reddit / forums to grab a ticker and then start my research / due diligence from there.
I am not a CFA, financial advisor, or anything remotely related to a trading professional so take anything I say with a large grain of salt. I like to think I'm smarter than the average bear (pun intended) but everything involves risk. Plus, it's a pretty solid bull market, so it's a bit of an "any idiot should be able to come out ahead this year" situation as well.
But hey, may the odds be ever in your favor. I think most of us here are already at least moderately successful in life and aren't just going to dump our life savings into a single option play.
