The key to investing as a beginner is investing in safe companies that beat earnings estimates (i.e. surprise investors with better than expected profit for each financial quarter). Also, when one starts to invest, I certainly suggest diversifying your investments.
A model portfolio of winning stocks would look like this:
1. Financial Stock: Goldman Sachs
2. Energy Stock: General Electric
3. Biomedical Stock: Teva Pharmaceutical
4. Technology Stock: Google
5. Retail/Consumer Stock: Coldwater Creek \
This is just my opinion about how to begin investing in a conservative, winning way.
Here is also the link to a great website that is very comprehensive in teaching novices how to invest:

The market is place where savings are passively invested or speculators actively trade leveraged funds.
It sounds like you are considering a more active route in the market, so you will need to learn about the risks involved in trading intra day using large amount of money. Daily movement are usually not significant enough to make a living from unless you use or have a significant existing portfolio leverage or take high risks.
Using technical analysis is the most common way to manage investment within a day time frame. Using index funds are more predictable than individual stocks. To increase the risk, leveraged index funds take the predictability of index funds and leverage to increase returns and losses.

Peter Lynch is the most successful mutual fund manager. Read some of his books. Boiled down, he says "Invest in what you know." Best advice I have heard.
Day trading can have good results, but the odds are against you. Remember 1999-2001 the tech bubble. Day trading companies opened all over advertising how easy it was. Then the "bubble" burst and traders found out it wasn’t. Several got guns and shot the managers of those companies before turning the gun on themselves.

Every broker starts by asking demographic questions like 1) who are you and 2) what are your goals?
If you are 25 and want to safely invest $1000 a month until you retire at 65, that’s not a problem.
I think you should start with mutual funds. If you goto Morningstar.com, you can select 5star rated funds that have made money in both up and down periods.
One I selected using this method is QuagX.
You might compare that with Warren Buffett’s BRK-B.
You can test your skills with online virtual trades. Set up some portfolios with Yahoo! Finance. Entering trade details as if you actually Bot and Sold. Try to beat QuagX over any period of time.

I´ve been investing for more than 20 years and trading for almost 14, and I can tell you that if you want to make BIG and FAST profits, I recommend you trading rather than investing, trading can help you to go from rags to rich.
If you are investing, you must have already achieved some degree of finalcial success, long term stock investing and/or FOREX can help you become much richer than you are today.
My experiences as a Nasdaq Market Maker, Head trader of brokerage firms, and currently as a professional trader
and private hedge fund manager, I can sugest you that:
We trade because we want quick, short term profits on a consistent basis. We want to cash flow the market. Milk it like a cow.
Make consistent, small, short term gains rather than trying to hit a home run on every trade. Don’t ever forget that.
Don’t marry a stock, marry the idea of making money trading stocks. That’s the only way to do it.
For me "All stocks are equally worthless”
I don’t hold on to any illusion that the stock market will continue to go up and provide a nice retirement for me.
I could care less which way the market goes. It’s irrelevant to me if the market goes higher, crashes or moves sideways for the next 50 years. I really could care less. Stocks are just four letters with two prices next to them that I use to make a living trading.
Trade ONLY when you have a clear, easy and identifiable advantage, because without a CLEAR EDGE your odds of success are NO better than a flip of a coin… That´s why so many new traders (and investors) lose money.
Take a look at any daily chart of any index or stock and you’ll probably see the most volatility and the biggest opportunity for profit during the "First Hour" of the stock market’s opening.
The popular thinking and conventional wisdom is that you should wait about an hour before you start trading.
But if you do, you’ll miss the big, fast moves that stocks make as all the amateurs let their emotions out through their
online accounts, usually right after they read some news headline or hear Maria Bartiromo go off about a stock on CNBC.
It’s easy to see why trading the open is the market’s prime time for profiting from other online traders.
The market’s open is very volatile – that is the perfect environment for LARGE, FAST profits.
Learn to trade as a professional Market Maker ,not as an emotionally driven amateur trader or investor with few thousand dollars in an account at Etrade.
There isn’t any other time during the day or any stock you can invest in, that can make you 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 or more points
in minutes OTHER than during the first hour the stock market is open. That’s why I love trading the open so much.
I trade only when I have an edge and that means "only the fisrt hour the market is open".
If you are a beginning trader, you can give yourself an unfair advantage in the market trading this way.
I can continue giving you a lot of advises about how to make money trading, but if you ask me:
"What is the best thing you can do for me or that I can do for myself?
Go to this "Top Secret" site and get the BEST stocks that will make the largest and fastest day trading profits you´ve ever seen…
http://www.onehourtrading.com
After you review this site you won´t need a system, strategy, book, software or mentor to tell you what to do,
you will be able to profit HUGE evey day, picking your own stocks to trade.
Trade well,
Jonny

Keys to success: study winners. Study Warren Buffett and Jesse Livermore.
Study stock market winners. Why does a stock go up? Study stock market losers. Why does a stock go down?
A stock market is an exchange of financial and emotional ideas.
