You can go to an online broker and sign up. You never know how a stock will do over the long term, but generally a PE under 20 and businesses with a good cash flow are the best bets. If you plan on staying with a company, find a company the continues to sell things people want to buy (Coke over Wet Seal clothing which can be hot sometimes and junk other times).

Open a telephone or Internet stock broking a/c providing advice
Decide what to buy on the advice of the broker.
Invest also some money in an index tracking mutual fund and compare its performance against the broker's recommended stocks.
After a couple of years see which is better.

There are tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of highly educated investment professionals out there analyzing every publicly traded stock in our markets.
Most of them will fail to outperform the S&P after expenses.
What makes you think you can?
Your best bet, if you have a long-term investment horizon (years, not months, weeks, or days), all of your high interest debt is paid down, and you have a reasonable cash cushion, is to commit to a index strategy of some sort.

Start by reading as much as you can Your local library likely has books by Peter Lynch and William O'Neil on the market. That is a good place to start. Also, on the internet there is a lot of good free information on sites like www.moneycentral.msn.com and yahoo finance www.fool.com or just do an internet google search for investing basics and you can look at a lot of easily accesible information on getting started.

To invest you need a brockerage account. There are many of them online, such as E*Trade, etc.
As for which stocks to buy, you need to do your own research or consult a professional. Many stocks that were good yesterday may not be good today.
