Ok. I've done a lot of research now. So, I buy stocks @ a certain value ea while the price is low, then when the price goes up I sell? And I'm done? Let's say that I know that Microsoft is about to release a new os so I buy some shares @ ~$19. Let's say I buy 5 shares, so I put $95 into microsoft. Then they release this os and around when I think they're at an apex I sell. Is that the basics of the stock market? Also, anyone know about money markets?

Well if you want to play the stock market - keep in mind commission costs are ~$8 per trade - so for a buy and a sell it'll run you $16.
Withdrawal fees / other brokerage fees can run you another $50-100.

That means you need at least a margin of $120 per trade to make a $4 profit. That all said here is my advice: you are a noob, you will get squashed by the public markets and the volatility.
Pick a solid company that demonstrates a good value (trading at low P/e ratio's and has potential for the ratio to increase, etc.). Also stay away from scammer stocks like oil /drilling exploration.
