Thier answers sound boring! try this. if you have yahoo, on your yahoo page start a stock portfolio. check some companies and enter them in at that day's rate, check them and see if they are going up or down. you don't actually have to buy anything, just get the feel of it. click on the research buttons for those companies and you will start to understand. I would recommend toyota, I bought at $74 a year or two ago. it is simple and fun, give it a try!

Its definitely a long process, and the most important thing you can do is to read a lot. After that, you'll start to get some sense of what kind of investing you are comfortable with, and you can start expanding from there.
Before you start getting lectures on the P/E ratio, I think you should read http://www.valuestockreports.com/030407.htm so you can get an idea of the problems with it before you start using what I consider to be a relatively worthless measure.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me at research@valuestockreports.com - I'll be happy to help as much as I can.
Hope this helps you get started.

I strongly encourage you to read and get as much information as possible. However, investing decisions are like auto repair. Most people can do some things, and some more than others; a few people have lots of training or experience and can do most things; and a large percentage of folks have no business attempting it at all without professional help. There are many qualified financial advisors who can assist you at little or no cost.
