I learned the basics of fundamental and technical investing, first. I then paper traded (write price and shares on paper when entered and exited trades) from hundreds of stock screens I did on moneycentral, yahoo, and stockcharts. I also got Metastock from Equis and Lightning Strikes from lightninglive for timing entry/exits from my stock screens.
Here are links for a sampling of my charts.

Next year I am going to start buying stocks. What I am doing now is playing with a stock simulator to get use to it. See Investopedia link below. The website has a lot of information on stocks.

I attended an investools 2-day seminar. You can get started with them. Practice paper trading. Read books. Read books.You can do it!

I have seen a very good and usefull dicussion forum on stock market- www.onlimoney.com where you can disuss stock market and commodities.

Read this book: "Investing For Dummies."
