advice on sites to buy stocks?

There are a ton of sites out there with a wealth of information. My advice would be to find a discount broker like Scottrade, TDAmeritrade, Etrade, and Interactive Brokers is also one.

Do your homework!! Sites like Fool.com, Smartmoney, Kiplingers and such will provide you with a lot of great basic and advanced knowledge in order for you to make an educated decision about what you want to invest in.

Good luck! THe market is crazy right now!!
