watch Mad Money with Jim Cramer, it's on cnbc every weekday from 6-7 pm. Believe me this guy knows his stocks, and he explains most everything in a way that is easy to understand and fun to listen to. |

all these are good answers but I'll tell you what I did. I started about 3 months ago after I paid off my credit cards. I had a friend recommend sharebuilder.com and I love it. I pay the $12 monthly membership fee and get up to 6 investments per month. I started out well with my 6 picks but after friday I'm only up maybe less than 1%. I was up by about 8% within 2 months. In order to pick stocks you just have to refer to websites, take a composite of analysts advice, pick companies you believe in, there is alot of different philosphies on who and how to pick. do you want to trade frequently for profit or build some long term stocks? I am doing both slowly. I'd say that 70% of the time when you can get 80% of the analysts to agree on soemthing, it's gonna be profitable. just refer to yahoo finance. read up 30 minutes a day. with sharebuilder it's pretty easy to trade, it costs 9.95 and a transaction can be completed within seconds |

take a college course, read books, talk to people that invest and learn from them. There are many ways to learn but hard to say which is the best way for you. For me it was the combination of them all with hands-on. |

The first answer was good. The second answer was better. But still lacking. To learn how to invest, you have to invest. You do not learn how to swim by reading, then go jump in the ocean, right?
I suggest you go to updown.com and open a virtual trading account. You will have $1million portfolio to manage. You then buy and sell stocks using the day's price action.
If you are able to show profits for three consecutive months, then can you open a live account. |

Do virtual trading. Trading without real money. Start with low risk first. Start with mutual fund, then buying big cap company. For beginner, you can try technical analysis |

There's no easy way to learn stock trading. You can watch Mad Money or subscribe to an investment news letter. But you're not really trading. You're buying and selling because some guy on TV told you to buy or sell. You're also putting you're faith in that person's stock analysis.
A key ingredient to trading or investing is understanding risk. When Cramer makes a stock pick, does he make an effort to explain the ways you could lose money? No company is all positives and no negatives. Even great companies that will make you money have vulnerabilities. You should know what they are.
Having said that, I suggest reading . . . a lot. Read the newspaper. Investors Business Daily and the Wall Street Journal are excellent. You can usually get one or both at your local library. Your library will also have books on stock trading to help you get started. And if that's not enough, your library probably offers you access to free stock reports too. (My library offers me free S&P reports through their website). |
