Answer 1

Yahoo finance has an investing education section , left side, center

http://finance.yahoo.com/marketupdate?u

plus all the daily market activity for stocks, bonds and etfs
Save up and buy in about $2K lots when you find companies you like. I like Schwab, you make all your decisions, the brokers can not churn your account to make commissions like some places.

Answer 2

All you have to do is go to TDAmeritrade.com and sign up. I think the minimum is $500, but you can easily have them take it from your bank account. Or you can send them a check. Once they get the money, it's in your account and off you go!!

And you can even set it up to where they take a set amount from your bank account each month or week. This is great because you have more and more money to trade stocks with each month.

As for stock tips, try this one:

China, China, China. Look at your shirt, where was it made? Your sneakers? Your radio? Phone? Furniture?

China Mobile (CHL). Growth in population in China as well as expanding economy make this sleeping giant a perfect play. The stock is $47 with a forward p/e of 17 and pays a 4% divvy. China is one of the best economies in the world right now. All our jobs are going there.

So you not only get the POPULATION growth, you also get ECONOMIC growth as well!!

CHL has 1 billion in potential new customers. It's also hedge against the falling dollar. Chinese people often don't have computers so the phone they buy will be their access to the Internet. Google and CHL just inked a deal that let's CHL suscribers get on the internet via phones.

China hosting 2008 Olympics. Gonna send stocks there higher.

CHL is a monopoly that is protected by the Chinese government. CHL is also the industry leader with 65% market share. Superb balance sheet. It's stock price is trading at a discount to its growth rate.

China is where the growth is right now, you want to be in this stock. By 2010, this stock will double and you get the divvy to boot.

Also, try the Greater China Fund (GCH). They invest directly in Chinese companies. It's another great play, but not as good as CHL.

I think the best way to learn about the stock market is to first see what the best traders are buying and selling and why. You can find this information at http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money. Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors. You can also read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas. There is also a charting feature , so you can see how your portfolio performs compared to the S&P 500.

Here are this month's best traders:
