My co-worker was telling me about all of these stocks they were buying and how they have so much potential.. Then I found out they were getting all their research from the Motley Fool...

Not that there's anything wrong with the Motley Fool, it's just the fact that all she did was read some articles from them and thought she was Warren Buffet.

The bare minimum before you buy any individual stock is to look at their balance sheet and income statement. if you're not doing that, you shouldn't be buying individual stocks, and should just buy the S&P 500 index, it'll save you from losing money.
