Get $100 in cash. Go to Ameritrade or Etrade. Open an account and direct deposit that money from a bank account.
Research some stocks by their tickers (2-4 letter acronym). Find good stocks that have good ratings. Read the reviews from large financial firms (such as Morningstar) that rate them.
Or buy mutual funds that are collections of stocks. (less risk, though watch the fees).

It’s pretty cheap (under $20 a share) and I don’t see it going down :)
Start with a small investment so you can see how everything works. How to do this: Pick a company whose products you use and you believe are of good quality. Buy 10 shares. Watch what happens for a while.
That won’t get you rich, but you shouldn’t be investing more than that until you are comfortable with how stock trading works.
If you must invest more than that now, you could invest in SPY (the S&P 500 index tracker, an exchange-traded fund or “ETF”). This will move with the overall stock market, not an individual company. But follow others’ advice too: don’t invest more than you can afford to lose.
Finally, use an online broker like TD Ameritrade, Schwab, etc. (but I don’t recommend etrade).
Just invest in SPY. It goes up and down when the whole market goes up and down. Forget 'get rich quick' on a lucky bet. Get fairly rich for certain (over time.)
Ah! That’s exactly the information I wanted!
I feel like the best plan, considering Trump is getting 5 more years, would be to invest now and cash out before he leaves office
it just jumped 2000 points since trumps press conference
Exactly! So many people just got rich, but so many of us republicans who knew this would happen didn’t invest!
Exactly. I would have bought stocks a week ago if I knew how to do it.
I like this idea
The biggest lesson, buy when there is blood on the street. Who in their right mind would have wanted to hold stocks over this weekend?
If you can't think of anyone, then it means you should
But I also mean, like... what the fuck is a stock and how do I buy one?
I’m a technologically illiterate gen Z’er who struggled just to open up a paypal account. Do I go to a website? Do I fill out forums?

Will that get you started?
You probably should have invested a day or two ago when it was down more.
True, but you know what they say!
The best time to do anything was yesterday.
The second best time to do anything is today!
It is exactly like Gambling do not invest more than you can afford to lose. The best thing to buy is gold.
