Well I'm glad you cleared that up, RamenTrader. From the name, I inferred you were living below your means so you could buy stocks therefore you trade ramen noodles with your neighbors for variety ... "Hmmmm. Let's see, I'll give you 2 chicken for 1 of your shrimp noodles." 
Are you interested in trading or investing? To me, there's a big difference. I am assuming you're part of the younger set and investing in good dividend growth stocks and reinvesting could make you a ton of money slowly with lots of Sleep Well At Night times in between. For examples, see chowder's "Project 3 Million" blog over at Seeking Alpha or look at Dividend Mantra's web site.
Anyway, welcome to the board and thanks for posting the introduction here so we can respond intelligently. Please come back and share some more.

“While the dividend itself is merely a rearrangement of equity, over time it's more like owning an apple tree. The tree grows the apples back again and again and again, and the theoretical value of the tree doesn't change just because of when the apples are about to fall.” - earthtodan
