Stupid lil me wanted to get involved in the stock market so I bought a few shares of RedHat and a few shares of Sun Microsystems. (they are each at ~$5)

It's been less than a week and already I'm losing money ... Think there's any hope for me? (Note to self: pretty sure Sun at least will come back up there!)

I have a few shares at 16 years old, I have some of Level3, couple Microsoft and Nike, just put in my Nike shares the other day and made $15.00 more, so I went and got Sony, since they just put out the PSP, hopefully sales will dedicate to my much larger sum.

What are your methods of selecting stocks?

I love technical analysis.

'Eh I am more for the same field, technical type things, I also try and purchase other types of things, most of the NYSE myself I would say if technically constructed of stocks.

I'm not much into stocks. But when I see a company I'm familiar with (a tech company, of course) introducing a new product, buying out smaller companies, etc. then I'll investigate and possibly buy.

I just do it to get some extra funds in my pocket and some extra funding in for my store, never works though, just cashed out everything earlier yesterday. I'll probably buy some more Nike later on in a month or so or wait until this summer when businesses start booming.
