i think i've said this several times on this thread. but i don't mind saying it again.

start a google account

use the finance option

start your own mock portfolio.
pick a bunch of stocks you think will do well over the next couple weeks or months..

check on it daily
that means read and pay attention to the news surrounding it... look at the charts... see if you can make sense of it..
and see how you do

don't forget to always stay in tune with the market... see what effected the price...why it went up.. why it went down.. pay attention to the major indexes and futures.. as well as how euro and asian markets performed over night... (be careful of what you hear on the news... some of it is irrelevant.. sometimes it's just noise)

if it's interesting and you somewhat understand it.. dig deeper..
read some books
browse online finance forums and communities
talk to anyone who has investing experience
or go take some securities courses

you'll be on your way shortly..
