1. Always remember you are NOT investing in a stock, you are investing in a company.
2. The primary reason you are investing in a stock is because the company is making a profit. Plain and simple.
3. If you are investing in a stock when the company is not making a profit, you are NOT investing — you are speculating. This is what is called buy on speculation, and most people sell on News.
4. ALWAYS have well-thought-out answers to your questions such as “Why are you investing in stocks?” ,“Why are you investing in a specific stock or sector?”, “When is it time to sell your invested stock so you make a profit?” and “Is this stock being promoted and how long will the momentum last?”.
5. In some instances, such as a bear market, bad economy, and/or failing market indices: stocks are NOT a good investment at all. So sometimes NOT investing saves you money in the long run and is the smartest decision.
6. When investing in a stock (or stocks in general) you should never invest 100 percent of your assets or put all your eggs in 1 basket. Think of it like this, if I am investing my house payment and budgeted bills, DON’T invest at all. The percentage of stocks that do not go up is usually 7 out of 10, if you put all of your cash in 1 place, you may end up on the 7 that do not profit. Not very good odds in my opinion.
7. Your common sense and judgement can be just as crucial in determining a good stock as the advice of any investment expert.
8. Paper trading is always a good idea for a few months before you start trading with real monies. If you have no idea about the volatility of a company (and generally even if you think you do), ALWAYS use stop-loss orders. Figure a percentage you are comfortable with losing and stick to it. Trade Trigger’s can be your best friend. ALWAYS have a plan and see it through.
9. A stock’s price per share or PPS is contingent on the company, which in turn delegates on its environment, which can consist of its customer base, its industry, the general economy, and the political climate. This also includes world activity, not just your region.
10. Even if your speculation is to buy and hold for the long term, continue to monitor your stocks daily, do further due diligence and consider selling them if they’re not appreciating or if general economic conditions have changed.
