I am just now getting into trading stocks. I am about to go into college and need some help. Does anyone have any advice for me. Where I can learn about stocks or a few good stocks to start off with? Any info helps thanks.

I'm sure there are lots more I missed, these are just quick off the top of my head.
And one other thing: Make sure you are talented, passionate, and have a burning desire to become world class at whatever it is you do. Because if you're not a true competitor with a warrior's heart and an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, this road is not for you.
Only mention this because a lot of guys (and you will find some on ET) poured years of their lives into markets only to regret it. Assess yourself for the challenge beforehand, because there are many easier ways to make a living in this world.
