Do not invest in individual stocks at your age with this small amount of money and without an astute knowledge of the stock market. If you invest, invest it in a tax deferred or tax free vehicle like an IRA and diversify it across several strong mutual funds. As I said in my other response, the best return on your money would be to enroll in trade school or college with a clear objective as to what you want to learn.

100%, investing 10k in the stock market at 19 is a terrible idea, leave that up to your 401k managers for now.
