All it takes is an online broker. Pick your market and search for a broker with Google or whatever. You'll find plenty.

For almost anything you could want to trade in their will be a company that will be happy to take your money. Currency, shares and commodities are common trading instruments. You can even do bets on things like interest rates or house prices if you fancy. Just be careful to to jump around between different trading instruments. Pick something to specialise at and you will have a better chance of being successful.
