Go check<\/strong> out the rest but I felt these were the best.  He also includes the ones to stay away from like Mutual  funds\u2026 they are way old and too expensive when you can get ETF<\/strong> that have almost the same exposure, etc. and the costs are less for them.  Great<\/strong> stuff for \u201cinvestors\u201d.  – WD0AJG <\/p>\n

  <\/p>\n

The below is for ordinary investors, not professional traders or those aspiring to become professional traders… <\/p>\n

1.  Buy mid-sized and large stocks that are growing earnings and revenue <\/p>\n

2. Buy large and mega-sized stocks that are paying consistent dividends<\/strong> and have low debt<\/strong>-to-equity<\/strong> ratios <\/p>\n

3. Read the news<\/strong> on your stocks once a week maximum, once a month<\/strong> minimum <\/p>\n

4. The moment a stock<\/strong> disappoints you or makes you wish you hadn’t bought it, sell it.  Immediately and regardless of price<\/strong>.  Life<\/strong> is too short to hope a bad decision reverses itself <\/p>\n

5. Don’t get In or Out of the market<\/a> , but modulate your exposure up and down as a function<\/strong> of what you think is happening.  Your guess<\/strong> based on all the available news<\/strong> and indicators is as good as anyone else’s – and it is more important<\/em> than anyone else’s for sure because it is your money on the line<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
