E trade for t rock

Last night I watched about 20 web videos about the basics of buying stocks and checked out e-trade. I plan to open an account with them once I decide what stocks I want to buy. I also want to look at mutual funds that invest in India, china and maybe south Korea. I'm gonna wait for the market to dip before I buy anything. I also want to learn about how taxes work when I make money off stocks. Right now I'm looking at td bank and target and a few tech companies. I got to start editing weddings now so I can make money to buy some companies ya!
