RE: Before you do any investing make sure you get educated first.

Before investing in any stock, you should be aware of the company's business and industry

Very important. I know quite a number of people who have lost a good amount of money because they failed to do proper research. Even my aunt lost some money late last year because a friend told her about an investment scheme that could double her money in two weeks. It has been almost a year and she hasn't received a penny.
