There are many different ways to learn how to play the stock market. Here are a few of them.

Instructions

1. Taking online classes.
   This is an easy, and for the most part affordable, way to learn how to play the stock market. Most classes that offer help with the stock market can be taken at leisure. So there is no need to rush through the class and start trading. Take your time learning the basics before you start gambling with your own money. Once you have gotten the basics down, it might be a good idea to try investing some of your own money to see if you can turn a profit.

2. Ask a friend.
   If you know a friend who is very financially savvy, ask him if he or she could show you the ropes. This way you are able to see how they handle the stock market and watch as they trade. Watching someone who has traded in the stock market for years may think that it is as simple as clicking the mouse a few times, but they are sadly mistaken. Good stock traders know that they must research their investment closely before putting in any money.

3. Go to a stock broker.
   Have a stock broker handle your money for you. They usually have fees and commission but you will be able to see what they are buying and selling with your money. While your money has been invested, watch the stocks and learn about how to read the charts. Then after the stock broker has made a little money for you take it out and try some on your own. It is always a good idea to practice and watch the market before trying it yourself.
