Fund picks and pans stocks

I wanna invest in the stock market since the economy is in recovery mode but I’m not sure how to go about in doing so. I’m 19 btw and have about 650 in savings.

I ask because I can’t seem to understand how the stock market is going so great while the economy is in such a horrible state. The stocks are pushing 14,000 and the value of the dollar is getting less and less. The real estate market is hitting the dust. People are spending much more than they get. Foreclosures are running rampant. Unemployment is high.

Last time this kind of thing happen, we ended up in the Great Depression. The stocks were great. The Roaring 20s were full of partying and pizazz. The 30s? People were living in shacks because the stock market crashed.

Now, I may need to brush up on my history, but isn’t this pretty much how things went? I don’t think we’re far from the same ordeal. Even if we don’t hit a depression, things aren’t getting better. I know there’s an economic cycle, but it seems that we’re not rebounding into the positive side. I can’t see how things are going to get better.

For those of you business scholars out there, maybe you can help me.
I feel, though, that if we do hit another depression, it will be much, much worse than that of the 30s.

Your thoughts?

Politicians are always quick to take credit when stock market raise, and they’re quick to blame opponents when they fall, but these are based on complicated calculations, which, recently, have lead to abnormalities based on wide fluctuation in one or other product and service (oil and housing come to mind).
So are stock indexes as reliable as they used to be in determining the health of an economy? How significant are they really?

We are seeing new record lows all the time with Obama’s socialist agenda. The stock market numbers don’t lie and businesses are speaking out against Obama’s nazism. If the next President is a Republican, will he be able to restore stock market prosperity like George Bush was able to after Clinton gutted our economy?

I look at the little graphs of what different stocks are worth, and it looks like a monkey drew them. Who actually sits there and counts buyers and sellers and determines stock prices? And if the stock market is the indicator of the economy’s well-being, then how can it be closed on weekends!? If it can be turned on and off at will, does that make it a man-made construct? And if so, why does it follow natural laws of supply and demand?

A friend suggests that I should take a college course dealing with the subject of the stock market. He says that it might be wise in knowing which stocks to buy in the future since the economy is bad. Considering that I listen to him and if a class like that exist, what would be the proper class to take for this topic?
