I agree with you Gelsemium, information is king when it comes to investing. It's always risky to invest, otherwise you wouldn't be profitable at all, but it's doubly so if you don't have all the information about the company before getting your money out there.
Again, the best is to start investing in something certain, that is giving profit to a friend or family member and build on that. If you don't know such a person, advice from your bank can be useful.
