You basically pick a few stocks that you like.  This could be companies that you're familiar with.  Many of them are publicly traded.  It could be anything from McDonald's to Disney.  Products that you use frequently.  Lots of places to look.

Company registration is a contry specific process and therefore you need to approach the local registrar. To float shares in public, there are lots of legal and/or finacial requirements that you may need to meet. For example, minimum autorized capital, minimum initial numebr of share holders, appointment at specific posts like company secretary, etc. As long as you hold over 50% share you will stay in control of the company. Therefore, you should never dilute your equity below 51%.\n\nMy recommendation is to start small - float a private company - focus on business - generate value/profits/customers - and then plan going public.\n\nBest of luck!

visit zacks.com or cnbc.com, but I like yahoo the best.   Create a my yahoo home page and track your list of fifty stocks.  Go to the profile and visit the company's home page.  View presentations and listen to conference calls.

Most importantly is you should do your homework rigorously, find out everything that you can about the company, go to finance.yahoo.com, type the stock ticker, and follow every newslink, and then also go to the company website, check their financials etc etc. At least 1 hour per week per position

I dont know what kind of answer you're expecting. I'm New York USA. We have the Nasdaq, S&P 500, New York Stock Exchange and a few others. Stocks go up and down. You would need to learn alot about stocks and how they work before "getting into stocks". \nStock  101. A small company decides they will incorpate their business. When they incorporate they give stocks to other members of the company. These members are then shareholders. Each share has a worth. It could be $0.20 or $20.00 or anything else. As more people buy the cost of shares rise. As more people sell the cost of shares drops. People get ansy about buying stocks. It's like gambling. You don't know if the your shares will go up or down. People study the company and the market. For instance, Someone has designed a machine that will make typing a letter much easier than using a typewriter. With a typewriter you have to press hard on the keyboard. You must buy ribbon. You must buy correctype and if you want a different font you will nead to buy a new daisy wheel or other item in order to change the font. This new machine will prevent more error because it allows you to see the words before they reach the paper, which give you a chance to backspace without using white out or correct type. No wasted ink. Less paper to throw away because less mistakes are made. And hey my machine even has a spell check. The person who invented the machine has already told all his friends. He has an article in the newspaper. Some reporter had an interview with him. He has even written a short book about it and some new other inventions he has lined up. He has a 10 year patent on his machine. Now keep in mind that the manufacturer of the old typewriter has many "shareholders". The manufacturer of the correct type or white out also has share holders. The Ribbon Manufacturer also has shareholder and the manufacturer of the ink for the ribbon also has shareholders. The new typewriter is called a word processor. He going to sell his new word processor to book publishing companies first. Then hes going "Go Public" and have the outside public buy shares. He just announced the new and improved word processor for the home office. Its lighter and more affordable. It will be just a matter of time before the old typewriter is out of business. A smart shareholder would sell his stock once he/she read or heard of this new invention and start buying shares of the manufacturers of the material (sony, toshiba, texas instruments) of the new machine as well as the new machine (brother, panasonic).\nAnother example: You know that there was a tsunami that destroyed the cities where the largest manufacturer (Company A) of computer memory chips were manufactured. You also know that the second largest manufacturer (Company B) of computer memory chips will now become the largest until Company A gets back on its feet. You had shares in Company A. Well you are going to sell those or just expect a major loss but you've thought ahead and borrowed some money and purchased a huge amount of stocks from Company B. Smart move unless you did'nt read that there was another Company A manufacturing plant in another city not affected by the tsunami.\nDepending on how much you want to invest and on what kind of risks to take will determine how you want to invest. High Risk = Stock Broker. Low Risk = Mutual Funds, CD's, Treasury Bonds.\nI would suggest speaking with stock broker. But be very weary, they are bigger snakes than used care salesmen.

contact a stock broker or your bank, they should help you out with the documentation.\n\nlook at ratios such as P/E ratio and EPS mainly, and also read the investor prospectus as thoroughly as you can.\n\ninvesting in indices - will diversify away some risks - so look into that...

go to yahoo finance.  If you know the symbol for the company key it into the space where it says "get quotes".  If you do not know the symbol, click on the words "symbol lookup". Unfortunately, you have to know how to spell the name of the company.  After you find the symbol, key it in and there will be displayed the price of one share of stock.  For example, Microsoft, MSFT, last trade $21.92;  Bank America, BAC, $48.79

I use Stockwiz for end-of-day trading. It's completely programmable, which is what I wanted, but the programming language is .... primitive.\nBut it's free.\n\nhttp://www.stockwiz.com/\n\nCaveat:\n- I am still using version 3, although there is a version 4 available\n- You still need a service to get your daily stockquotes, which is most likely *not* free
