I started a thread a few days ago about penny stock investing, but after receiving some advice I'd like to ask a different question.
I'm a college student and during the week I work part-time at a golf store. Basically I ring people up but on slow days I literally spend hours on the computer just reading business articles and going on facebook. I have about $1,200 in savings and I make anywhere from $75-$200 a week depending on my hours.
This is what got me thinking: what if I invested a weeks pay check into the market? I got some great advice in the other thread and I'm purchasing some books on amazon about investor methods and psychology. But would investing $200 or $300 be stupid? That's really all I can afford to risk right now since I use a portion of my savings for college. But one advantage I have is that I can short sell very easily since I'm almost always in front of a computer.
What do you guys think?
