Remain consistent and remember even the best in the world struggle to get a return which would impress a statistician.
If you remain too active you will slip gradually from blue chips to small caps to penny dreadfuls then grab a margin loan and day trade with 5-10 times your assets.
Just keep your perspective and don't trust anyone. The largest benefit you'll get is an understanding of accounting, corporate governance, the sticky end of corporate governance and general financial market operations. It has helped me greatly in my act/fin degree which made up for all the time I traded via my phone in lectures.
