re: How did you get into the stock market?

There was a required economics class in high school that everyone had to take to graduate. Part of the class covered stocks, and we set up a portfolio. Everyday in class we would go over the newspapers to see how our stocks did the day before. A few years later, I had a neighbor who was heavily invested in stocks. I learned a lot from him. Over the past couple years I've learned more on my own.

We did something similar. All the kids picked Coca Cola, Disney, and mature companies they knew. I took a flyer on some small-price health technology stock (wish I could remember the name to look it up), got lucky, and kicked arse on the largest percentage gain in the class.
Our local paper still has a "stocks of local interest" box each day, but this just reminded me that on the weekend, likely Sunday, they would publish details of (I think) all the stocks traded on the NYSE. Page after page of info. Other than that, you had to call a broker if you wanted to know a price.
