<prompt> Human: I need some advice on how to get started in the stock market. What should I be looking for? how can I tell if a stock has long-term growth sustainability and things like that. I recently just reached my emergency fund goals, I paid off all credit cards, I paid off my car loans, my 401k is at 10 and I am looking to get into the stock market. Right now my debt consists of my mortgage and our my wifes and my student loans. I make approx 45,000yr and my wife is a hair stylist so her income varies based on tips and things. Her base pay is approx 15,000yr with about the same in cash tips. Any advice on what stocks to look at what trends to follow etc is greatly appreciated. thanks!  <response>: This is a friendly reminder to visit our FAQ entry on InvestingYou might also benefit from this common topic: I have X, what should I do with it?Also, please visit our FAQ!I am a botrAutoModeratorcommentsq11puwhat_is_automoderator, and this action was performed automatically.
