That’s a tall order. I can tell you this: Jim Cramer has taught me most of what I know about stocks . Watch CNBC alot, and visit sites like BigCharts.com and TheStreet.com.

Ocw.mit.edu is a project started by MIT. For almost all classes offered at the University, they have all the lecture notes, assignments, readings, homeworks, and tests online for anyone to access free of charge. Many of the classes are also taped so you can watch the videos and enjoy a lecture by nobel-prize winning professors FANTASTIC!

A great free website that you can use to learn about the stock market is – 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:
Good luck.

First you need to read about the market and learn the basics about online stock trading. You c an find much information and free resources at
Then, by gradually taking the time to observe the markets and how stocks fluctuate semi-randomly, you will learn to temper your emotions and take gradual decisions: you will have to be very disciplined to take the time to learn and to apply what you have learned, and the best way is with virtual money (like monopoly money). This will save you from loosing real money by taking too much risks and not controlling your emotions. Your own emotions are probably what will make it the most difficult for you to behave rationally.
For access to free education resources and to find-out about a virtual trading environment, go to :
In this totally free site, hosted by MarketWatch, you will be issued some starting money and will place your own buy and sell orders over the Internet. Each day, you will see your virtual portfolio account value increase and decrease. In their Research section, you will even find some free training tips to get you started!
So, even if you have taken a trading courses or read a few books about online trading, be careful and trade virtually for a few months.

After that, have a look at your trading record and decide then if you are ready to invest with real money.
