Kind of broke

I don’t have much money, but once I do, I’m going to learn how to invest into the stock market!
How to invest in the stock market
It made me
yay 
"I lost a lot of my money as wholly worthy learning experience. Well worth it for my future investments."
How I did it: I have studied and am doing research in finance through my masters degree in information systems. I am working on using artificial intelligence and economic concepts to optimally trade the market. It has been 3 years running, and not getting any solid results, but I will eventually. I have learned SOOO much during the process, that I feel like half and expert on it now.
People doing this are also doing these things:

I need to find a way to remain excited about the stock market, but not make rash decisions.

The stock I’m courting is going down, but I don’t have the money to invest in it yet. Arg!

Sell, then buy
4 weeks ago
I already own stocks, technically, but I didn’t choose them. I’ve already found a few companies I like, but I have to wait until BAX goes back up a little so I can sell. Although I’m glad I didn’t already buy because I need to learn how to research a stock before I jump in.
Peter Lynch’s “One up on Wall Street” is the book I’m currently reading. It’s smart, simple, and surprisingly interesting. Not what I expected.

I just think it is crazy that there is a tool out there that makes money into more money and I am not at least trying to play the game. I am scared of losing money because I get so mixed up with when and what to buy, it makes it hard
Maxime is back, for now!
I've been shown how to, earlier today!

I had some time before work so I went to visit one of my friends at his workplace but he wasn’t there. Instead, I talked with Bruno, the guy who replaced him. I had the chance to talk with this guy a few times before, I know he’s a very nice man, a traveler with a lot of experience and culture.
It was quiet and he was playing with some numbers on the computer screen, and told me he was investing in the stock market. Just in front of my eyes, he earned $200 with some actions he had bought three days ago! I was like “wow!”
I’ve always been fascinated by investment activities, I guess I could make it a hobby of mine. And as long as we make smart moves and use our head instead of our emotions, we can earn a bit of money.
I need to save some money first, so that I can buy some actions and start.

Asset Allocation is Key!
13 months ago
With the recent stock crash (October 2008), I’m painfully realizing the importance of asset allocation. I’m lucky that I had a good portion of my accounts in cash, but the portion in stocks wouldn’t have tanked so badly if I had allocated them in the types of mutual funds and bonds that were recommended to me for my age group. Listen to the experts. Also, dollar cost averaging has always paid off for me even if I haven’t always done it.
Finally
14 months ago
I’ve wanted to do this since I was a kid (Yeah, I was a weird kid.) Finally started about 6 months ago. My second investment was Bear Sterns – about an hour before closing on friday before JP Morgan announced they were buying them out at $2 share (I bought at… $33 I think..) Well, it seemed like a better idea at the time ;) Anywho, so I’m still down a bit from that – but regaining my money back. I love it!
e-trade

I think I’ll just join e-trade and figure it out from there. Do any of you know any good books to read to learn more about investing in the stock market?
