Beefcake,just my suggestions: 1.With your lack of experience, penny stocks is not the place to start.You could easily lose your $500 in one day. 2.No, it's not neccessary to know Candlesticks.But you should become familiar with basic chart reading and technical indicators such as Stochastics , Williams %R and other overbought/oversold indicators. 3. Do not put all your money in one stock.Split your $500 into at least two stocks. 4.You might check out buyandhold.com for an online broker. You don't need a lot of money to open an account and you can add to it as you wish. I think they have have a plan where you pay $14.99/month for unlimited number of trades. Some brokers charge almost that much for one trade. There are some disadvantages to their plan, but the main thing is that it's cheap. 5.Don't expect too much success at first.Try for small gains until you get more experienced. Good luck.
