Check your community college. You will often find that they have basic investing courses. You do NOT want to go to a meeting sponsored by a company that sells products or services. Also, unless you are really up on the market, you don't want to buy stocks. You want to buy mutual funds that invest in many types of stocks, which means that the risk is shared.
Check out companies with low management fees (like Vanguard) and you can buy shares of their mutual funds.

circulate to a library and check out books on the markets, procuring and merchandising, making an investment, and so on. My first e book became into 'procuring and merchandising for Dummies.' That became right into a protracted time in the past. i'm a stockbroker now. for sure there's a lot that got here approximately in between, yet that's a sturdy place to start up.

If you're doing it because you have seen some "get rich" scheme on TV, I would grab your cash and run fast in the opposite direction.
It is very, very difficult to make money in the stock market unless you're experienced. If you just want to learn more, buy a good book about it.

Do some reading first, maybe the Wall Street Journal Guide to Personal Finance or one of Suze Orman's books to get started.
In the mean time open a savings account so you'll have money saved for whatever you decide to invest in.

You might as well step into the Boxing Ring with Joe Fraizer, you are going to get beat up the same way.
