The real bad thing with trading (which investing actually is, just longer term) is that there really is no place to go for a good advice.
If the OP doesn't have time to do the research, then I would recommend looking into some managed accounts or funds (and doing the research there - it still requires research work).
I trade differently from the parent, I'm a techie/quant (well I do some fundie stuff too) so depending on your history, I would look into different methods on how to trade. There are plenty.
Buy and hold is what some people praise, especially those newbie stock books but I really wouldn't like to advocate that approach but that's just me.
edit: As some people posted links, I'll post some good books - forums tend to be full of crap and it takes at least of 6 months (at least, possibly years) to be able to understand who know something and what really is somehing you should be reading so here are some great books:
This is an easy to read, good book for beginners in a form of a story
