This tends to depend on personality traits and funds available.
I have a friend that puts 80% of his liquid funds into stocks, I had another that only worked with like 35% of what he had, until he won big on a sports bet.
Do what you feel comfotable, and I'd advise before you blow money to play with monopoloy money first.
I've been doing a lot of monitoring of the pre-market activity and trying to see the trends of the top active stocks and what not.
I just figured that if I put about $100-$200 into stocks a day, I could make a couple extra dollars on the side.
