I am a great believer in investing in the stock market for most people. However, people who invest in the stock market average about 10% a year on their investments. If you have high interest debt which has an interest rate greater than 10%, you should use your money to pay off that debt, not to invest in the stock market. Even worse, some years, people do badly in the stock market. Instead of making money, people can average a 20% loss in their investments in a real bad year. Do not try to invest in stocks as a way to get yourself out of debt.
A lot of people who answered your question did not know you were trying to invest in the stock market to pay off debt. If they knew, they would hve been less enthusiastic about encouraging you. |

To get out of debt will involve no investing at all. Just take whatever leftover money you have after paying your necessities and then use that to pay off your debt directly. Investing to try to pay off debt is a negative-sum game. Most investments will not give returns higher than the interest you pay on debt. So until your consumer debt is gone, the best use of leftover money is to pay it off.
To save up for a house, you will want to use conservative investments like a money market account or short-term bond fund. http://www.vanguard.com is highly recommended for these. They have the lowest cost mutual funds out there, which will give you a higher yield on your money market account. |

You can open an Ameritrade account with $500. You can then use the funds to buy stocks. Buy stocks in companies whose products you like or stores you shop. Stocks in all energy companies are always safe bets and they pay good dividends. Paying close attention to what is going on around you can be very helpful. Right now companies that manufacture guns, ammunition, missiles etc are really doing well because of the war. |

I would suggest first investing 'on paper'. Meaning, you pick a stock - like MacDonald's, for example - and then you pick a start date - like tomorrow - and then you keep track of the stock for a specific period of time - like a month - and then you 'sell' it and see where you end up.
Once you get the hang of investing - without risking any actual money, then go open a brokerage account with one of these online brokerages - ETrade, Scottrade, Ameritrade, etc - to keep your per-trade fees down - and go for it.
Now you're probably wondering how to pick a stock...that's the ultimate question. I pick stocks of companies and/or products that I am familiar with. But my research doesn't stop there. I check the financial statements - I like to make sure the company is both profitable and that their revenue is growing. I also check their stock charts to see what the consistent trading volume is (a large volume usually indicates a more stable stock) and to see if there is a pattern to the stock price (ie. does the price run up and then drop - ie. a rolling stock?). Also, prior to the purchase, I determine how long I will keep the stock for - usually at least a year for the lower capital gains tax.
Good luck! |

Start by reading as much as possible on a daily basis. WSJ.com, yahoo! finance, etc.
Think about where your interest lies. Being a good investor means you need to know your investments inside out to know when the signals are to buy and sell. It's going to take time and effort, so might as well be on subjects you care about. If you are into electronics or aerospace, research SNDK or BA.
Think about your risk profile - can you afford to lose all of your investing money? If not, don't go for speculative plays that could have huge returns.
Jump in. Tracking 'fantasy' investments is like reading about sex - it might be interesting, but through experience is the only way you'll actually learn. |

Set up an account with a broker. Then do paper trades for a while and just see how you do. When you are comfortable that you can do well in the market after just doing paper trades for a while, jump on in :) |
