Does anyone invest? I was thinking about investing some money but looking for pointers.

I've invested for 20 years or so. My best investing has been done after reading Jim Cramer's "Watch TV... Get Rich!". Great book for learning investing terms and how the market works. The gold is the stock screener checklist that helps you evaluate a stock you may want to invest in as it makes you analyze what a company does, how it makes money and if it seems to be on solid financial ground. Ignore the stock picks in the book (or at least run them through the screener rather than just blindly investing) as you should be comfortable with the company plus the book has been out a long time so some stocks/industries in the book may not be as in favor as they were when the book was fresh off the press.

Other big tip is take advantage of this golden age of investing where several brokerages are offering zero commission fees on the purchase of U.S. equities. Since I have had my brokerage account for decades, I don't know if these zero commission brokerages have account minimums to open and get started with free purchases or if they have annual account maintenance fees so do your research before opening an account.

dollar cost average into a low-cost equity index fund or ETF that tracks a major index like the S&P 500
preferably maximize contributions to tax advantaged retirement accounts first like 401k, IRA, or SEP
don't do everything all at once, scale in and scale out.
investing in single stocks or more esoteric instruments should be avoided until you have built a comfortable core to your retirement nest egg.
