1. Before buying a stock, make sure you have as many positive reasons stacked in your favour as possible; this will increase your probability of success.
10. Sometimes the best investment is in cash. Do not feel that your investment money has to be invested in the stock market all the time. Sometimes it is far better to be on the side lines ready to buy some bargains. When the market is in a correction and downturn, investors should hold cash, and looking to shorting as money making opportunities.
13. If the market doesn’t do what you think it should, get out. The market is the reality. It is too big to fight against, just go with the flow.
