Jimbo, my brain is slim pickings but there are a lot of people here that could answer your questions. Fire away.
You also may want to check out Investopedia. If you use their search box at the top and type in a term, you can get definitions or brief explanations about it. Then you can ask about it further here if you're confused.
Start with a goal. What do you want to accomplish by investing? No, getting lots o' money is not a goal, it's a wish. Down payment on a house, retire with xxx in income, pay cash for the new 'Vette?
Oh, by the way, dumb questions are not dumb. Not asking them is dumb.
(For you semantic purists, 'dumb' means 'stupid' in this vernacular case.
Just sounded too harsh a word to use.)

“While the dividend itself is merely a rearrangement of equity, over time it's more like owning an apple tree. The tree grows the apples back again and again and again, and the theoretical value of the tree doesn't change just because of when the apples are about to fall.” - earthtodan
