Answer 1

There are a lot of books out there about stock trading.  There also are a lot of helpful websites where you can learn about stock trading as well.  One of my favorite ones is Investopedia http://www.investopedia.com/.  You should check them out.

In order to buy and sell stocks, you will need to open up an account with a stock broker.  I would suggest that you open an account at an online discount brokerage simply because it would be much cheaper than going with a full-service broker.  I currently use Firstrade http://www.firstrade.com/.  They're cheaper than big name brokers like Etrade, TD Ameritrade, Schwab, and Scottrade.  They also cater to beginners with their easy to use interface.  There are cheaper alternatives out there, such as Interactive Brokers and Zecco.  However, these deep discount brokerages are known to have unfriendly websites and poor customer service.  Basically, you get what you pay for.  Therefore, I would still recommend Firstrade.

I know it sounds corny but there's an old saying that goes "no pain, no gain."  However, that doesn't mean that you should jump in with all your money.  I would suggest investing a small amount and see what happens.  That way, you can experiment without risking everything.  Unlike most brokerages, Firstrade does not have account minimums.  Therefore, you can feel free to invest as little as you want.  Good luck!

Answer 2

An easy way to pick up about stocks would be to watch CNBC Mad money.  You can pick up some of Jim Cramer's books at the library or your favorite bookstore.

Starting off alone studying how to trade stocks is not very interesting.  You might check to see if there is an Investing club in your area.  Find someone that is making money.  Do not listen to anyone that is not making money.

Etrade.com has a few tutorials on line.  You can study a little there too.

A trading mentor is the best way to go or take a course.

Take it step by step and study to make money.

Focus on doing what people do that make money, and they are few and far between.

Good luck to you and remember to master what you learn.
