So i've been a lurker for quite some time on /biz/ (~2yrs) and I've read some books (and by "books" I mean the intelligent investor and a bit of security analysis), I haven't become any more confident in singular stock investments(well obviously), long story short out of the information Ive gathered over these 2 years I think its more of a gamble than calculated financial risk(i.e too much bullshit auditors, cooking the books, inside information etc), or am I just being tinfoil hat about it? I have come to a few ideas.

Current $: ~4.1k

1) Should I keep saving up my student allowance until I graduate and have around 12k, invest in a singular stock

2) Should I invest now and 'learn something'

3) Do something else (?)

tldr; Should I invest in my best efforts into a singular stock and see what happens or put 4.1k to better use (whatever that may be)
