Hey? Didn't we already discuss this?
Assuming you already have a money market account with 4-6 months living expenses and no credit card debt.
Then invest in a no load Index fund (like the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund or something similar) and contribute monthly if you can.
If you get that down, then divert a small amount of your stock money, say 10-15% to invest in individual stocks if you want to play around.
But unless you have some skin with a company or want to do your homework, the Index funds are pretty brainless.
