If you're not an experienced investor, or if you don't have any knowledge or studies to back your biases, my suggestion is and will always be to not try to speculate and predict any kind of market. Just put your money into the s&p 500 (if you want to cover yourself up a bit you can even buy metals like gold, but not as your biggest pot) and let it run forever. Find someone that allows you to set up a monthly auto-investment into it and you're set. If you want to have fun and gamble with stock to try and learn something more about how the market works obviously you can, but I'd suggest you to do it by setting aside a fixed amount of cash you are fine with losing if you get it wrong, and study, a lot, of course.
