I know absolutely nothing about the stock market other than buy low sell high. I just downloaded the Robinhood App and I have around $500 disposable dollars to play with. Would the be any negative to me buying random stocks and selling them in 1 or 2 days? Losing the money isnt a huge deal, I just dont know if there is some weird rule about buying shit and selling it soon.

when you sell something your $$ from the sale is tied up for 3 days while it 'settles'

But if I dont really have a need for the money, how is that a huge negative? Other than the fact that I cant buy more shit. I am not questioning what you are saying just trying to understand it all.

Rule #1 when trading is to preserve capital. Why would you willingly throw away $500? Why not just look at the stocks, write them down, paper trade, etc? That's free to do.

>buying random stocks
There's a winning strategy.
Buying random stock is kinda silly.
Instead, do some RESEARCH and buy stocks you actually like. Try and make it a mix of companies you personally like and "real" companies you find through your travels.
Learning about investing is always a good idea. There are just good and bad ways to do it.
