Find some low dollar stocks and put a couple hundred dollars in. Don't go for the big boys yet until you understand what trends to look for and how to manage that. I bought Atmel stock not too long ago, it has since doubled in price. I made my money and then some. I bought Jamba Juice when they were still below a dollar, they are now trading at around $2+. I didn't put a whole lot in, means I can't lose a whole lot, and I definitely won't become a millionaire, but at least it gives me the security that I won't be screwed because I put my eggs in one basket without knowing what I was doing.
