I'm a 19 Year Old Looking to Make Some Financial Investments, Where Do I Start?

I recently joined the navy, between income i've already saved, what i just made selling my car a couple of days ago and my check after bootcamp i should have around 10k what steps do i need to take to jump into investments and get my foot in the stock market?

Suggestion:

Keep some in a checking account.
Open a long term cd with the rest at your bank.
Or go to bankrate.com to find a high paying savings account or cd.

With time – you will learn to invest.
Start by visiting your library or bookstore and getting books on investing.
Never invest without knowing what you are doing first.
