Yeah how do I, first of all, buy a share?
hehe...you serious ?? Open an account w/a discount broker to start. I would google "Discount broker" and find the one w/the lowest fee per trade.
to start.
you watch cable TV and you do everything that angry man tells you to do

^ Don't listen to him.
whatever you do, dont do what Justinian tells you to do; he's an evil, evil man.
etrade is crap, try Charles Schwab. seconds after you put the trade through it hit the floor
just give me your money, i'll make a doomsday device and a lightning bolt collector to power the world.
Justinian,
Google "Discount Brokers", Find the lowest per trade. It should be a flat fee, no hidden costs. You can research all you want on Yahoo, or MSN. research is bullshit.....easy to come by.

I use Scotts trade, and TD Ameritrade.
I like:
mad money's Kramer. Also read his books. REALLY good stuff. He has no financial gain for what he does. Hes a multi-Bill already. He trades for a trust. He has a not for profit portion of the trust that sells a web news letter. Subscribers know when he will buy or sell a stock BEFORE he does it in his trust account, and that is before its announced on his show.
One of a kind. VERY smart.
If you were starting out, I would read his books, THEN set up a play account w/fake money on any investing website set up for "Watch accounts." You can do this on any of those Discount broker accounts. practice for 3 months, research a GOOD blue chip.... make that your first move, catch it when its on its down slope (read the books).
Caterpillar, Proc&Gam, Disney, McDonald's, Coke, Merck, etc....any of the big boys.
I also like:
TheStreet.com
plus I follow:
Mario Gabelli and Warren Buffet, where they have their top positions.
Any more info, and you owe me a fee
i wouldnt invest in soft drink companies, corn syrup prices are soaring, gonna put the squeeze on profits for soft drinks.
@ Avo
If you mean Coke, its Much more than a soft drink company, and the price of corn syrup is hardly going to damage its bottom line.
@ Max,
As a Hedge, but IMHO, I believe a weighting in gold at this point is late. A 5% position in a good solid gold mining stock should always be a portion of a large diversified portfolio....so say the experts.
I dont own Gold, Ive never been a fan of it. I prefer Alcoa, or a mining conglomorate w/a large stake in gold.
is that the Kramer who blew up at the Fed for not cutting rates a while back?
Alcoa is gonna get murdered by the high energy prices. Aluminum production is an energy hog.
Yell,
Yeah Kramer called for "massive" rate cuts from as far back as October I think. To head off this current uncertainty.
i currently invest in "TSP" for some that may not know what it is, its a government sanctioned stock investment, but instead of choosing your stocks, the government chooses for you automatically.
now, as some ppl may say its a bad idea, i have actually been doing quite well. my money has tripled. many ppl might even read this and reply their comments about "not trusting the government" however, it is in the governments best interest to help you get money! they will make you money cuz when you withdraw your funds, the government collects the taxes! lol i thought i was going to get royally skrewed too! however the government actually succeeded lmao
Once I pay down my debts I will secure my future by creating corporations and buying land and selling it to my corporations, borrowing more each time and listing the IOUs as assets, then getting wiped out by a recession and filing a dissolution chapter 7 bankruptcy. By having the corporations borrow to pay my salary I'll be sipping mimosa on a houseboat for decades.
ok, BW you can trade my money 
cuz it's fake money..i'm trying it out first.....seeing how good i can do...it's actually also for school..this big competition i took a part in cuz i've always wanted to be an investor ..dont think i'll ever have good enough money for it...so thought i'd do a little experiment with it ATLEAST
it's a game on investopedia.com
you get $100,000 virtual money and trade it just like normal stocks...all the prices costs and evrything is REAL 100%..just that it's virtual
i'm up $600 right now..was down about 100 like 3 hours ago ...so it's changing..guna sell some of my stocks
i bought bershire REALLY cheap just now...and the one that's doing the best for me is kraft food...they're doing AMAZING...and i'm prlly not guna trade that stock off for a while..cuz i got it REALLY cheap
anyways yeah..i just need help with it...so i make more ...some advice ..and some pointers...suggestions...and telling me where to invest and explaining why would be great too
... if u were to put your money into gold right now... would it really be the best time to do so ? no it wouldnt, because gold has hit record highs.... you will want to purchase is on its downward slope and obviously sell at peak, however if you get too greedy you are sure to lose out, waiting for the market to peak at a certain amount, it could start the downward slope occuring again.
with "bad" things in the global economy will come an increase in gold and silver trading.
wars, times of recession, depression etc.
personally i do not trust the us market, for my own personal reasons do not invest in it. I feel the australian stock exchange is far superiour and where i prefer to play.
you must be careful to not choke when you see that your investments may be starting to lose value, i believe if you are going to play with the share market you should consider it a long term investment.
afew years ago gold was only $300 (per unit they measure it in)
recently it has hit record highs over the $1000 mark. I believe taking interest and familiarising yourself with the influences and what will have an impact is a vital key if deciding to invest. therefore simply keeping up to date with world news and events should be a decent indicator on what your stock should do.
monitor stocks
I know nothing about the markets, but I disagree with God I think if you're looking for a longer term investment, the U.S market is a good place to invest. That's what my banker told me anyway when I was investing in my retirement fund for this year. Granted, bankers don't know much...but she said the U.S market has been in decline for the past couple of years and should bounce back over the next few years. Markets do trend upwards over the long run, so I have little reason to doubt her.
If you're not investing long term....*shrugs*
