Gonna Try My Hand At Stock Market Investing

I have decided Im going to try my hand at picking some stocks. Trying to read as much as I can and learn as much as possible before plooping down some greenbacks. I did find out that the beginner investing is kind of like fresh meat in shark infested waters . Seems most of the brokers I have talked to , want for me to send money and let them handle it all. Im not the sharpest tack in the box , but Im not doing that. Seems there are lots of stock scammers out there. I will post up some results when I make my first purchase
