i think you should not spend all your money all in one basket, that is what makes investing dangerous. you should invest and not gamble. but that I mean you should study the market, choose one or two commodities to start with and check them closely.  also your choices should be made on informative decisions and not based on emotions. also you should learn from your mistakes so that you don't make the same ones again. This is why its good to talk to an expert before you start.
