I want to get into investing, what are some important things I should know? What would you do different when starting out?

Currently, I know very little and I don't plan on starting until I'm 100% comfortable. Here's my scenario I pose for you:

• 
  

  I plan on using relatively small amounts of money (~$1000) (i'm not looking to be making huge returns, but you gotta start somewhere, right?)

  
  


• 
  

  I will be using Questrade.com (mainly due to cheap, and Canadian)

  
  

What should are some important things I should know?

Are there any websites you find particularly useful?

How do you do your research on which stocks to invest in?

Knowing what you know now, what would you do differently?

Thanks for any input :)
