Hi anon,

Adding on to the rest, I'd suggest you manage your expectations. Investing is a long term journey, and you must mentally prepare to lose everything you have (not that anyone wants it).

Actually, as an undergraduate, you should focus on finishing your studies and securing a job. This provides you with cashflow, which is crucial to ensuring that you will have funds to invest. I'd suggest you take this time to gain some knowledge first and open a trading account to get yourself prepared. Have a warchest and a watch list, and prepare to patiently wait.
