Easy enough to get involved. Just open an account at a discount broker like Scottrade or Ameritrade or something and start trading. All you need to know is the stock symbol, which you can find through yahoo finance.
But, if you want to invest INTELLIGENTLY that's a horse of a different color. First, you should start reading. Books like Peter Lynch's "One up on Wall Street", Jeremy Siegel's "Stocks for the Long Run", and even Benjamin Graham's "Intelligent Investor" will give you worthwhile insights.
Best of luck to you.

Define normal. Define get involved.
If you mean, invest in the stock market, then there are many ways.
- Open a brokerage account with any number of online or traditional brokerages (online/discount is better in my opinion)
- Put money away in an IRA, 401k or other retirement account
- Invest in a mutual fund directly.

It's not get rich quick as most people would have you believe. It takes a lot of reading and research.
1.Get a simulated account at investopedia.com
2. Follow business news, (you'll see how superficial cnbc is)
3. read, read , and read.

You should think of not being normal and make a major investment in gold coins...thats where its at....let the normals lose all their money while you could make a pile of it.
