i'll give you my suggestions and im sure the other board members will help you as well.. besides the suggestions below.. always do your own research.. dont go by "stock tips" ... because as someone else already mentioned those people probably already own those stocks.. so they are trying to pump and dump them... "stock tips" are like tips you get at thoroughbred horseraces... 1) Read books, stuff on the internet or anything u can get your hands on about day/swing/position trading... ill recommend a couple of books and a couple of sites to get you started.. if your interested in pinkies/pennie stocks ill recommend a couple of sites as well...
Books: How to get Started in Electronic Daytrading by David S. Nassar (i believe allstock.com sells that book as well as amazon.com , ebay, half.com etc.)
A Beginner's Guide to Short-Term Trading by Toni Turner (amazon.com sells it as well as other sites. you can get a cheap used copy)
Sites: www.tradingacademy.com
www.pinksheets.com
www.stockwatch.com
www.toniturner.com
2)Brokerage recommendations:

If i think of anything else ill post later... but like i said im sure the others will give you their suggestions.. my last suggestion is you'll have to either swingtrade (holding a stock between 2 to 5 days) and/or position trade (hold stocks for few weeks) as opposed to daytrade (buying & selling stocks throughout one day )... you wont be able to daytrade for awhile anyways as im told that you need $25,000 for a daytrading account and you had already said you are going to start with $1,000 .. so swing and position trading is your way to go... hope this was helpful...
