Trade on paper rather than with actual money until you get a good feel for how well you understand the stock market.

There are lots of people who say they are stock market experts. Some really are helpful, others are charlatans. Learning the difference can mean making money or not. Invest with names that are well know in the business and if you don't know about a person or news letter, do the research. To succeed in the stock market you don't need to be a genius, you just need to use lots of common sense. Don't attempt trading without knowing what you are doing.
