Before putting any money into the market I would read till your eyes bleed. Bunch of sites that explain how the markets work. Read, read and read... and when you think you know enough, read some more. Start paper trading, bunch of sites that you can do this on. In the end it's just glorified gambling.

I have been making bank on XOM but it's really starting to make me nervous as of late. It's whipsawing like crazy. I think I am going to trade AMD for a bit. Plan on buying some calls on monday.
