Some websites of use while deciding on investments.
morningstar.com: Allows you to see current quote as information on companies, as well as access historical data on stock performance. You can construct a portfolio of stocks based on current prices or historical ones, and analyze it with numerous metrics. This is all for free, more services available if you pay.
kitco.com: Tracks precious metal prices.
Lazy portfolios by Paul Farrell: Set it and forget it. I use the Yale portfolio.

Financial Advice
Sorry if people find this boring, but here's a few notes on investing and the economy.
There's always an inflation spike after a war (Wealth and Democracy, p36), due the excess gov't spending (and were making the record books on this one). How to protect against inflation? An inflation protected mutual fund, like this one by Vanguard. Bonds and gold traditionally do well in times of inflation and a slow economy.
If you don't really understand any of this, don't go out and bet the farm on this fund. Start studying.
