Im new to the stock market, im not down with the whole finding solid stocks and long term, I would rather just find stocks, and buy and sell by the second. Is there software/trading site, where I can open a account much like sportbetting and just buy and sell in real time, ie. as soon as a stock spikes for more than I paid for it I can sell it and I can skip out on the heavy trading fees of a company like etrade?

If you think etrade has "heavy trading fees," then my guess is "no".

Read the issue of Barrons that came out in early March. They reviewed several online brokerages.

If you want to trade real time the web based programs won't cut it. You need a direct access feed and pc based software.

Im new to poker, and im not down with the whole smart tight-aggressive playing well thing, I would rather just play every hand and hope to win on the river...

Can you give me some names to look up with realtime trade feeds?

It sounds like you would be better off just driving to your local casino.
