1. many books exist on the topic. I get the feeling that you want to do DAY trading; buying and selling stocks daily. IF so, know this; fewer than 5% of DTers earn a profit.
2. the stock market isn't a good bet unless things turn around and right now they are not looking good. But if you still want to take the high risk go to your local bank you do business with and talk to the financial adviser and get some insight info on investing. Its not that hard the toughest part is picking what you want to invest in and as I said that is a disaster right now.
3. Try http://www.investopedia.com/beginner.asp This website has a lot of information about stocks and the stock market. And it has a stock-trading simulator where you can open a free account and practice trading stocks using virtual money. Once you've had some practice there, then you will know all the basic steps and details that you need to know for trading with real money.
4. http://simulator.investopedia.com/ Take a look on that. Actually I don't believe to the making money by online.
5. fundamentally, you can use various key financial ratios to start screening which stock worth your hard earned money. from there, you can go to the next level by further study how they perform qualitatively.
