Wow. So I started on the fast lane to learn real estate investing and maybe some new business stuff. I moved on to internet marketing and I believe I understand that as far as I want to take it. I have started to move on to learning stocks. And holy crap. This world is beyond me. I signed up for Scottrade and I put $100 bucks in my account. I am using this money to learn about stocks and figure things out.

My question is, how in the world did you all get your start? Is there a decent way to look at stocks? Are there systems you use to evaluate a business? I have seen an increase in pharmaceuticals and communications companies. I understand the cell phone business quite a bit so I guess I have an idea if they are going to grow or not... This is a little overwhelming!
