Free advice: put that money in a low-fee index fund that is broadly invested in the market and don't touch it. Vanguard, Schwab, Fidelity are all good choices. If you start now then you can be quite wealthy later in life. If you have retirement benefits through work, then definitely do whatever you need to do to maximize them (e.g. put in what gets you the highest matching).

Very few people beat the market when it comes to options trading and other types of "active" investing. You will probably lose money. Everyone thinks they will be in the very few.
