<prompt> Human: Im trying to start investing with my dads account, Im pretty sure he uses fidelity, but I wanna get some useful links to learn more about it and maybe a subreddit that has daily news for stocks. I have a general idea on how the market works and such. My dad said that he can let me use around 5k if I have enough evidence to back up the investments I want to buy. He wants me to buy penny stocks, basically anything that is like 4 or less, but I sure I can go higher than that if I see it as a good idea. Im basically asking for a place that posts the daily rundowns for what is recommended to buy and what not to.  <response>: Investing in penny stocks is not a good way to learn how to invest. Your first step should be to talk to your dad about investing 5k in other investments. Penny stock investing is closer to gambling than investing. You might hit it big. You might lose it all. For your dad, gambling 5k might be fine if he has a larger portfolio of investments. I invest about 3-5 of my investments in riskier vehicles like penny stocks. But learning the basics of investing is not learning how to gamble or speculate. Rather, it is learning that investing small amounts slowly over time dollar-cost-averaging is important. The most important rules of investing are consistency and diversification. As a newer investor, broad based index funds like SP tracking funds are good choices. You should learn to crawl before you walk and you should learn to walk before you jog. You are trying to sprint before you have learnt to crawl.Edit: Changed job to jog.
