Trading

  1. You will run out of money before financial gurus run out of trading ideas.

  2. Never trust an economic boom fueled by consumer debt.

  3. Trading without an exit strategy leads to disasters.

  4. Never deal with a broker that won't give selling ideas.

  5. Money Honeys are pleasing to the eye but not your portfolio.

  6. You can't eat a computer. Have some 'basic' stocks in your portfolio.

  7. Day trading is like grabbing coins in front of a steam roller . You will get rolled over.

  8. Know the difference between investing, trading and speculating.

  9. You do not have to be in the market all the time. Remember, after the crash of 1929 the market did not see those highs until 1954.

  10. By the time you hear news, the market has reacted and digested it over a dozen times.

  11. News you hear or read about was manufactured by a public relations firm...it is not news, it is market propaganda.

'Software companies are severely punished for missing numbers . In most cases, a miss of a quarter spells trouble for the next few quarters or perhaps years. But, for investors with a 12-month investment horizon, buying an established software company, with a degree of size and maturity, following a 50% gap-down can often be a winning strategy.'
