Start slow. Ready "how to make money in stocks in good times and bad" by the founder of investors business daily William O'Niell (can pick up 2nd hand cheap)
Watch Cramer (Mad Money) on CNBC to get a sense of the market and what's fundamentally sound (I said watch it, not invest in those stocks), but they give you a starting point.
Read your busines section to get a feel for what's going on in business.
Get some education, maybe investools.com or something like that who can teach you to invest properly so you don't have to rely on mutual funds and the sort which is for average folks who don't want to take their future into their own hands. Once you do this, you'll be able to analyze charts in seconds.
But it's up to you. Decide how involved you want to be in your future and that'll help dictate your path!
If you have any q's, just let me know.

If you're serious about it, read the 10Ks and recent news of companies. Start a imaginary bankroll, see how you do. Track information on the stocks you pick out and their performance. Hit the business journals. A good, free place to get information is actually Yahoo Finance. In the company profiles they have the SEC filings, you can get 10Ks and 10Qs from there.

Start trading-the best way is to actually start doing it. Now I don't mean use all of your life savings and throw it in on some random stock. Start small, research and get your feet wet.
