Since I have never traded a single stock ever I just bought one share to get my feet a little damp and see what happens. I trade with a company called Robinhood that doesn't do shorts yet but gives free trades so I'm only risking my 5 dollars seeing if I'm holding what I learn or need to go back a bunch.

I would advise staying away from robinhood there executions are terrible once you really get into the actual trading.

I want to trade small tests here and there for now just so I can see if I am learning. Would you say stay with Robinhood for the little 1-5 share trades for now, and if so what should I move to later when I want to really trade?

Just a newbie but Sykes has warned against shorting earnings winners: bad risk/reward.
