Stock market tips

Just started investing in the stock market at 33. I plan on retiring in 25 - 30 years. Can anyone lend any quick tips to get this ball rolling fast. I’m looking for good short and long term options.

What ball?
There are no short term options for investing. If you want to trade, go figure it out, but you’re likely to lose money.
The only winning strategy I know of is time in the market. Maximize that and you’ll do just fine.

Unless you know what you’re doing, S&P 500 index funds are the way to go in my opinion.

Buy the entire market for the longest term you can

I just listen to what Jim Cramer has to say on Mad Money and buy immediately the next day. He's a former Goldman Sachs trader, hedge fund manager, and an expert in the field so you know his advice is solid.

Does anyone really know what they are doing?

This isn't a bad play, but not for the reasons you mention imo. He has such a massive following, he could say something good about a shite stock and it will still see a bump short term. I listen to him every morning on squawk box and sometimes on the way home, and he teaches alot of valuable lessons, and is good at giving a sense of the market overall, but I don't trust his stock picks as completely genuine.
My advice would be don't try to time market, and don't sign yourself up for a second job as a trader. The extra possible gains you could get over index funds is not worth the nervousness, and the time required is over the top. You are better off playing with 5%-20% of your money in your spare time and parking the rest in index funds or vanguard like VIG and focusing on your 1st job. That's pretty much what I do.

Best stock market tip I can offer - buy ETFs
Posted on 5/8/19 at 6:34 pm to Blueprint
The best answer to stock market tips is...
Save more.
Cut costs or earn more income but the biggest determination of your portfolio value is when you start and how much you put in. Stay diverse.

If you see a poster named Husss offer advice, always do the opposite and you'll be fine...

The easiest advice is to maximize your 401K employer match and then go into the platform (Schwab, Fidelity, whatever) and get several low-cost index funds. It might not work over 3 years, but it’s as good as any strategy with far less risk and cost over 20.

This is such an underrated principle.
Say you invest $1000 every month. You could spend hours doing research and if you are really good, beat the market by 1-2% over the long term. Thats 10-20 dollars per month.
Or you can eat out lunch 2 times less per month and contribute $1,020. Its why I put all my effort into my career. I'd rather focus on earning more than try to beat the stock market.

Do you buy those stocks or do you buy a fund/etf that has this as the composition? If so which fund/etf?
