My birthday is coming up and I'm considering asking for some cash to use in the stock market. I know it's not the best way to make money but I figure it might be a good experience. There's two things I've considered looking into: 1) Sirrius, the satellite radio company (I know, I'm a little behind...), and 2) Some kind of VOIP (voice over IP) company like Vonage. What I'm wondering is where I how I should go about finding out if they're worth investing in right now. To you out there that are experienced, imagine that you think a certain technology might have potential to continue rising in popularity. How would you personally commence researching which company to look into? Take VOIP for example. Vonage advertises the most so I'm the most familiar with them. Should I assume that they'll hopefully lead the potential growth of the VOIP technology because I see their adds a bunch, or should I go to Google and begin running searches for VOIP articles and start taking names?

Thanks a bunch if you've made it this far

I appreciate any and all advice!
