If I was you and I didn't know much about the stock market I would read and do some research before I became involved, then I would use a simple program such as E*Trade (what I use), which enables you to track your stocks and actively engage in the stock market...Best of luck to you and be careful in your decisions, spread your money out and not in one place.
