Any insight on someone new to the market i know a little but have never invested before.

My most memorable trade was with Apple. This deems as one of the best stocks that I have invested and I love this company not only because it has a good EPS with better performance but also enabling me to gain some profits and changed my mindset along the way.
I learned to be patient and to keep raw irrational emotion under control.
We need an ability to take losses and adversity without going crazy. Choose the stocks u like and like what u choose too. :)
