What's the first step in getting into stock market investments?

Hey fellas I want to start getting into stock market investing. I have no clue where to start. Can someone give me advice? Thanks

my advice.  buy thestreet.com's stocks under 10 bucks.  Get a buddy or 2 to split the cost and its well worth it.  I have done it before and most if not all of their recommendations went up.  But, buying stocks is easy.....selling is a different story.  Good luck 

Stay away from penny stocks if you do not know what you are doing..Looks like a quick buck but  99% of the time you will be left holding the bag.....Also do your own due diligence on any stock you will invest in and stay away from message boards as your main source of info.
