Hello
liaichiM!
First of all welcome to BHW.
Before you even think about it first "
Educate Yourself" Spend some time learning the fundamentals of the stock market, investment methods, and the companies you are interested in before you begin investing. Numerous resources are available "one search away"
I would recommend reading these books as a beginner.

IF you want to go for long term trade then Research the company very well the present activities , what's their upcoming plans so on.
Establish Financial aims. every trader must have has an open and exit strategy . you have to be if not right on time but around the clock before it;s too late .
plan your take profit and stop loss before entering to the trade.
I've personally used Robinhood. it was smooth. There are a couple of options you can choose from Firstrade, Charles Schwab so on, they may vary depending on your geographical location.
