Investing - December 2007

Where would I be able to invest in stocks/shares? And I'm new at this so anything I should know? Yes, I know I should read some books, but what would be a good beginner/safe industry to invest in?

Thanks a lot!

1970, Nixon shut down the Bretton Woods System, making gold soar dramically from less than $40 to more than $600 per ounce in less than 1 year. As of now, gold can be purchased from $700-$800 per ounce.

I know things change and prices are always increasing, but never at such an extrememly high rate as what I just stated above. In comparison to silver, it can be purchased at around $13-14 per ounce.

If so, would my money be insured? I am a practically dirt-poor siding installer with not much to start with. I'm looking for something solid, at least with a better return than 4% annually, and I can't afford risk right now. Not untill I build up something worth investing.

I'd like to buy some cheap stock to get started and gain experience. How do I go about it? I just checked out a website and it's all Greek if you know what I mean. What is the difference between a bond and buying straight stock, and how do I go about it? Is there a investors starter kit? What is my first move as far as research goes, and I don't have much to invest, where is a good starting point for me?

Will I get some kind of proceeds for having sold a covered call? Is it smart to write covered calls? Can I buy to close back my covered call and or do I need to do that when expiration takes place to get some sort of proceeds from it?
