so, how to know which stock to invest in?
when you should buy them?
and, how you can make money from?

fundamentally, you can use various key financial ratios to start screening which stock worth your hard earned money. from there, you can go to the next level by further study how they perform qualitatively. Look here for more info:

How to Pick A Good Stock
http://www.stock-investment-made-easy.com/good-stock-pick.html
Guide in Analyzing Stock
http://www.stock-investment-made-easy.com/analyzing-company.html

then, you must study how much the stock worth. to do this stock valuation, you have to calculate intrinsic value. once you got it, buy the stock when it is at its margin of safety, either it was discounted than its intrinsic value, or discounted from the past historical prices. Look here for details:

How to Calculate Intrinsic Value
http://www.stock-investment-made-easy.com/calculate-intrinsic-value.html
How to Determine Margin of Safety
http://www.stock-investment-made-easy.com/margin-of-safety.html

now the last question, how you can make money from it? look, good company will grow over time. if you invest for your retirement, you can sell the stock after 20 years with as much as 30% return per year! doesn't it sounds good? and besides, you'll be earning dividends year after year, which will also grow annually!

research single stock shares that allow you to reinvest and add ...drip accounts...many major companies have special programs for young investors

Like the first poster said you will need to have your parents open a custodial account for your benefit. They would then be joint on your account until you reach 18. You and your parents can decide whether you'd like to open a general custodial account, a coverdel account (for education savings), a custodial Roth, or Traditional IRA.

Next do your research into what type of investments you would like to utilize in your account. There is way more out there than just stocks. More commonly there are stocks, options, reits, ETF's, mutual funds, and bonds. Look further into these types of investments to determine which you feel most comfortable with and which you understand most.

You may also want to visit: https://www.cboe.com/UserAdmin/PersonalProfile.aspx?ReturnURL=/tradtool/virtualtrade.aspx

They have a free virtual trading platform on this site which enables you to virtually trade stocks and options on the real market with fake money.

Right now the world is going green, so if you're interested in stocks I really thing you should look into technology and energy. I also would try to stay out of penny stocks unless you really know the company well and know what you're doing.

Good luck to you on this.

It's great that you are interested in investing. Unfortunately, "you" cannot buy a stock yourself. Your parents (or some adult, like your uncle) will have to do it for you.

At age 14, you are a minor. As a minor, you cannot open a stock brokerage account on your own. Your parents can open an account in their name, or they can open a custodial account on your behalf, and place trades on your behalf, until you reach age 18.

In the meantime, just look around you. What products do you and your friends like? What company makes that product? Research that, and keep an eye on how that company's stock performs. It is a great way of "practicing" without risking real money.

explain what to you. penny stocks? penny stocks are really cheap stocks that trade in non-popular companies, outside the major exchanges (for example the New York Stock Exchange [NYSE]). Im 15 and after studying investment strategies i would suggest mutual funds. Just find a good one and they do the investments for you.
