Forget mining - you will lose money for sure.

Buy Bitcoins and hold them through the ups and down and eventually you will make money.

Wish I had followed that advice - I would be retired now.

Or use the rig to mine alt coins and hope they skyrocket

My first bit of advice would be give up on mining unless you are already pretty well off.  Second bit of advice is to read through as much of the bitcoin wiki as you can take.  Here's the link to that:

There are some nice bitcoin videos on Khan Academy here:

I also recommend going onto YouTube and watch any bitcoin video with Andreas Antonopoulos for really good insights into why bitcoin will be so impactful.

As for getting you first bitcoin, it depends on what part of the world you live in.

What do you mean learning the trade market? Learning how to successfully day trade? I don't think there are tips for that...
