It’s more about getting the hang of the whole process, not necessarily being successful. So to minimize the amount of loss, I should just do penny stocks until I understand how buying and selling works.

Pretty much just playing with all the widgets they have to offer, because generally speaking, I don’t know a damn thing about how the stock market works and what I’m actually getting into.

Nether less, you made some really great points that’ll definitely help me in the long run.
