Jim is giving you so great advice, and I don't disagree.

As he said, I would not try to do this in your 401k, especially if you are new to investing. Try your hand at picking stocks for a few years in a small taxable brokerage account, and see how you do. That way if you do get some losses, at least you are can write them off, and you are not putting a large amount of capital at risk.
