Stocks really are for long-term investing, so if you want stocks, plan on playing the game long-term.

Invest in things that pay dividends, and set it up so that the dividends re-invest in the parent company.

Fool.com is your friend. They have a ton of tools for new & experienced investors alike, and programs for both (such as the Project GreenLight program for newer investors, and the 10 Years to a Million for more experienced investors).

Morningstar.com is your other friend. It rates stocks, funds, etc and gives a feeling for how they'll do in the long term.
