If you are a newbie, especially, do not bet your entire inheritance or savings on the market at once.
You could start with a small fund as large as a week or so's worth of paycheck and gradually increase the fund at regular intervals (mon, qtr, ann, etc), as you gain more experience and confidence. If I were you, I would educate myself first.
I wonder if you are looking to Invest (long-term) or Trade (short-term or intra-day).
Fundamental analysis is key if you invest. Technical analysis is for trading.
I invest in the stock market. The reason I know I am an investor is that, it does not bother me much even if my holdings have gone down during an open market. But I do not hold a stock forever either. You got to prepare for market corrections and even flash crashes these days also.
Two mantras at the end of a trade::
Rule 1) Never lose money.
Rule 2) Revisit rule# 1.
Twitter or GoPro?
Neither is my cup of tea.
Regarding Twitter, it has been speculated to be a take-over target for a while now. If it happens at a premium-plus, the trade-return could be high. The Pres-elect seems to love TWTR. In this day and age of information overload, it is a pity nobody has figured out a way to monetize on its utility and brand recognition.
