How do I learn to invest in junk stocks?

Question

i have no idea how the stock market works but i like to gamble

Answer 1

The Short Answer:  If you like to gamble go to a casino.

Investing and gambling are two very different things.  There is risk involved in stock investing to be sure, and if you think you have a high tolerance for risk then you may find investing in the stock market very profitable.  There is one similarity between gambling and investing-- successful gamblers only gamble when they know they have the advantage, you should treat investing in stocks the same way.  Take a high risk if you feel comfortable with that, but only if you think it will pay off.

If you want to learn more about investing in stocks then educate yourself: pick up some good investment books and read up on some investing/financial websites and blogs.
