First good idea

[godofgamblers]

I don't know much about stocks nor have I ever purchased any. However this thread feels like one of those inside tips that I see in movies and am interested in investing a bit less than 10k in this. I know this sounds like a horrible idea since I know nothing about market specifics, but it can't be too bad right? If anyone wants to help in directing where to go to get the money in, and how to set up an account online, I'd appreciate a PM a lot.

I figure it can't hurt; if I gain in this I'll gain a huge interest in stocks and finance and delve into it deeper, which can only be good. If I lose I just won't touch this sector again until I learn much more about it, which wouldn't be bad either.
