Do you have a job? If not, get one and save more money. There is like infinity amount of information that is free for you to learn. I basically taught myself everything I know about the market, but I bought a bunch of books and whatnot.

Just read as much as you can and continue to save your money. Figure out what you do that you can cut out to save more money, and remember to pay yourself first. Every time I get a paycheck, I take at least 10-20% and put it into an ING savings account.

Take that $1000 bonus whore move up in stakes until you can't beat the next level. Build up a surplus in addition to your bankroll to cover like 6 months to a year of living expenses then after that start investing in index funds. Let us know when your done with the first 2 parts.
