1. the usual thing in share markets is that the old pros make the money and new players lose. so, you need to learn and likely quite a lot before you bet even as little as 100 rupiah. [Yes, I know the Indonesian currency isn't worth much ....]
2. buy a couple of books....intro to the stock market..........the little book that beats the market..............read them twice
3. First u have to make ur decision on whether u want to trade on paper (or) u want to do it in internet. For doing it on the internet u would have to have a demat account (An account that lets u trade stock online) The provider of the demat account will charge u brokerage depending on whether u do intraday trading (or) u hold the stock for some time. U can buy the stocks by just clicking on the nane and quoting a sum, if ur the highest bidder(buying) then u'll get the number of stocks u asked for which is available. Similarly if ur the lowest bidder u cal sell the stock. It is very volatile. a number of issues like physical (floods calamities), political (elections etc.,) and a host of other factors such as FIIs (Foreign institutional investors) domestic investors play a vital roll. so it is a bit tricky : here is hou u make a proffit: u buy a stock for Rs30 per stock & to ur luck it goes to Rs 35 and u bid 34.5 and it is sold then brokerage appart the rest is ur proffit. here is how u loose money. May be ur buying the stok of a company which is dying for rs 30 per stock , the value may not come more than 30 bcos it is on a falling trend. It is very complicated and the best principle is lesser the profit lesser the risk . Go for mutual funds firstly , get a taste of it and get good connection with people who'll handle stocks like brokers/executives who can really give u correct predictions and guidance other wise it is the best place for loosing money, quicker than gambling.
4. Plain and simple, a “stock” is a share in the ownership of a company. A stock represents a claim on the company's assets and earnings. As you acquire more stocks, your ownership stake in the company becomes greater. Note: Some times different words like shares, equity, stocks etc. are used. All these words mean the same thing. A stock is represented by a "stock certificate". This is a piece of paper that is proof of your ownership. However, now-a-days you could also have a “demat” account. This means that there will be no “stock certificates”. Everything will be done though the computer electronically. Selling and buying stocks can be done just by a few clicks. Now coming to "How to buy Shares" First of all open a Demat account either with a Bank or a Broker (eg ICICI Bank ; http://www.icicidirect.com , Sharekhan; http://www.sharekhan.com , India bulls etc). Then slowly start investing in IPOs which are relatively safe and give good return on listing. As you go on you will get a feel of market and then you can start investing in secondary market. Regarding tips, so start watching CNBC TV18, NDTV Profit, CNBC Awaaz and Zee Business. They have very good coverage of stock market, and some of the program discuss stocks in detail where you can even ask questions related to stocks. It helps a lot in deciding where to invest. Furthermore you can also invest in mutual funds, which donot give as good returns as the market, but the risk component is very less and the returns are quite decent.

5. Share market is an exchange place where u can trade stocks. You can make decent bucks by investing carefully in the stock market. Also people make overnight fortunes during intraday trading and trading in penny stocks, but these are with high risks.
