5 Key Rules for Investing
  1. Always keep cash in reserve.Today's low may not be the bottom; prices can keep falling for days or weeks. Keep money set aside so you can buy at lower prices.
  2. Invest in waves.Set your gain and loss targets in advance, with a minimum % move that triggers a buy or a sell, and stick to the plan.
  3. It's never too early or too late to invest.Markets always move up and down. Don't fall into the trap of trying to time the perfect entry.
  4. Build positions gradually in fundamentally strong companies.Buying small amounts over time in solid businesses tends to be rewarded.
  5. For short-term trades, set a monthly profit target.Decide what % profit you'll book each month, and take it when you reach it.

“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.”

— Albert Einstein
