You need to do the work first, learn a few terms, read a few books, which you will have to do anyway. Go to the library, and browse through the row upon row of the subject. All of these questions will be answered as soon as you take the first step and read a beginners guide to investing.
Try to determine your time horizon. Short-term, long-term?
Take a look at charting and Technical Analysis for following trends in the markets. Why would you own a stock that is in an obvious decline?
Realize right away there are two sides to the market, not just the upside. What goes up, eventually comes down at least part way.
Learn how to analyze risk, and make this your primary approach, not by compounding profits and erroneously analyzing how much money you can make. For example, most traders don't make any money at all; more than 80% blow out.
Learn about money management techniques, and maybe you'll stick around awhile.
Try to find these books:
"Which Is Better, Buy-and-Hold or Market Timing?"
"Do You Have What It Takes to Be a Market Timer

Depends on the broker. I use Scottrade, minimum investment is $500 (US), trades are $7, fees might be different for anything other than a straight buy or sell.
As far as what/when to buy or sell, well, I'm a newbie to stock trading, and have made some good picks, and have had a couple that have tanked, but will probably come back up. I have a boyfriend and a father who are more experienced, and who give me advice, some of which I take. I also read the Wall Street Journal for overall economic trends (although they have a lot of interesting articles not related to finance) and business news, and sometimes just rely on my intuition, which usually gets kicked in by something I read in the paper.
Of course, the object is to buy low and sell high, lol.
