Go to the Motley Fool's web site. There you can get a good primer on pretty much everything you need to know. Things like how the exchanges actually work, what type of financial analysis you'll need to know how to do, and the like. Once you get that base of knowledge, then go to the investment forum and float some questions. You'll get some okay answers. After that I'd advise doing some paper trading. The folks here have run in investment game. You could get in on something like that and get the feel for what's happening. After that, look for a stock and buy a small amount, like only a few hundred bucks or so. Don't go hogwild in the beginning. Start slow.

That should be enough to put you down the path...
