The best way to learn about the stock market is to open up a 401(k) account at work and pick some mutual funds to invest in. At least then, you will lower your taxes and you can start to get the feel for your money fluctuating in value.
You should not invest one dime in the stock market outside of your 401(k) plan until after you establish an emergency fund. This fund should be in cash (CD'S, money market, savings account etc etc) where you can get to it. You should have at least 3 months worth of living expenses in it.
After you do this, you can invest all you want in the stock market....but you have to remember...the stock market is like a casino........dont be greedy.......make some money and get out........financial experts lie to you......the longer you are in the market (casino) the greater your risk is. Your risk doesnt decrease by time horizon.......your risk actually increases the longer your money is in the casino....opps...i mean market. |

The best way is get your hand on training with the real money. All you need is as little as $500 to get started.
Open an account at Scottrade, and start trade as soon as you activated your account. |

After reading the previous answers, I wanted to add a few cents worth. The person who responded about the 401K is correct. If you have not already done that and can do it, then do it.
Trading is not investing. In my opinion investing is the act of researching companies and trying to determine which are most likely to become worth more in the future and then buying shares in those companies.
Trading on the other hand is the act of trying to predict short term price movements in the stock of a company and attempting to profit from those movements.
There are literally hundreds if not thousands of books on investing and trading stocks that you can read. I would start there. Go to the library and read one or two. Perhaps one on fundamental investing and one on technical investing.
Then there is no teacher like experience. So open an account with Scott Trade or another on line broker, preferably one with research resources, and good luck. |
