After you feel comfortable with what you're tryng to do, visit the Web sites of some of the more popular brokerage firms. So if you feel comfortable with what you see on line and look at the cost and/or charges. When you are ready to go, just open an account on line with the firm. Please remember, the cheapest is not always the best. Even though you’re opening an account on line. you can always call the firm's "customer service" area for help
You at least have made the right decision to start investing, this is the first big step and it won’t be your last. Keep taking those steps forward and along the way never take the advice from people that are not in the market or try to tell you not to invest.
Good luck on your journey, study hard and you’ll invest well.
Its a great life long hobby to learn and a great habit to be interested in. It takes many years to learn, I started really investing alot around 15 years ago and feel like I learned more every year. Lost money years ago as part of that process also but most learn that way.
There is a wealth of "free" information on the internet. Go to Yahoo Finance every day for at least an hour, follow the links, read the articles.
In 30 days, if you apply yourself, you will know more than 90% of the investors out there.
Good Luck (and investigate Facebook FB)
Forget books! Your generation is all about the internet my friend. YouTube. As much as people hate to admit it. You can learn a lot more from watching how someone goes about things maybe more from sitting there on a textbook. I would just YouTube videos about investing and google. However, I recommend you open an account at TD Ameritrade or another broker. Don't worry you don't need even a penny to open it. After that you can use their education section to learn more. I would go with this first because its what I used and I felt I tripled what I knew about the stock market in about 20 minutes. Don't be frustrated if you don't seem to quite get it. It takes work and a little patience but you are so young its amazing to see someone your age want to learn so I applaud you and wish you luck!

Hi, I am 15 years old and I want to teach myself how to invest in the stock market. Obviously I am too young to do it now.... because I am broke... =( But I might as well learn something this summer vacation, because the older I get the less time I have...
So does anyone have any advice on where I should start? Any good books?
