You could do this: Visit a friend who you know does have money, and say, "I would like to invest in a company that is sure to go up, but I have no money. If you could lend me some money, we would split the profit. And if the company goes down, I will make up for the loss, so you have nothing to lose. Give me 2-years to make this play. So, if at the end of 2 years, my stock investment makes money, I sell it and we split the profit. Plus I give you back your original investment. If at the end of 2 years, the stock doesn't go up, I give you back the original investment. And if there are any losses, I will pay you out of my pocket, so you lose nothing. All losses are on me." This is a winning proposition for anybody, and they will gladly go into it, I think. But during those 2 years, you must save some money and put it aside, so if the investment goes down, you can pay your friend back his original investment plus you can pay any losses from your savings.
So, this way you could make some money in the stock market without having any money in the first place. ;)
You have to write an official contract and sign it, perhaps with witnesses! It is very important that you have a written contract not just agree in word. And it's important that you put everything in writing. It is very-very important!
Stocks can only be bought with money. Save some money first, and buy a few stocks. Stocks can often lose value, so it is unlikely you will make big money in a short time. Also, you will have to pay tax on the increase in stock value when you sell your shares.
Go to your library and get books for free. Or read online about stocks. You will need to learn all about them, but a good book can tell you what you need. Then buy one share of stock, possibly through a company like Sharebuilder.com. Then you can add to your share until you have more.
You can also join an investment club and have other people help you learn.
Buying stocks can be confusing for a beginner, so you may need a little guidance if you haven't done it before. On the other hand, making money consistently from buying stock can be very difficult.
Stock is another name for money.
It is just like having money.

you cannot BUY anything with no money. You cannot barter ideas for stocks on the stock market
The same way you eat hamburgers without any meat.
