FWIW, following Zeev is fine and dandy, but I highly recommend studying TA/FA and history of the stock market yourself. A knowledgeable investor is helpful, but a knowledgeable trader is a must. And I concur with LG. Start with paper trades or with a small number of stocks until you're more familiar with the movements and tricks of the market. Keep in mind even the best of traders can be whipsawed.
In a bear market, it helps to know a little economics as well to see how long the DOWN trend is and what signs to look for in a REAL turn around.
Hope I'm not overstepping my boundaries.. Just passing on what I've learned...for me.
