You can learn about the stock market 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 read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas. There is a charting feature, so you can see how your portfolio performs compared to the S&P 500. Also, you can create your own "group" so that you can see how you are doing compared to your friends.
Here are this month's best traders:

Once you are ready to invest "real" money, you can open an account at Scottrade.com - they offer $7 online trades.
Good luck.

fool.com is a great place to start. They have a good newsletter and good free articles. You have to sign up for a free account. Do not go to a local broker in town, they will try to get you to open an account, sell you load funds, and essentially waste precious years of your investing life. Start on your own and put some time into research. A great portfolio base would be DODFX, the Dodge and Cox International Fund. Open an account at tdameritrade.com or scottrade.com.

If you have a friend or a family member that you trust and feel is competent, they can be a great source of information (My father taught me BOATLOADS) Also when I 1st started investing I found Yahoo Finance's Investing Education center was a great tool. http://finance.yahoo.com/education

There's nothing like learning with no risk, so how about a "fake" account?

You can set up an account, or more than one account, and pretend to buy certain stocks, and see how you do!
