1. Do not pay ridiculously high prices for stocks because overvalued companies always fall back to earth!

2. Pay close attention to charts when making decisions - a picture can be worth more than a thousand words!

3. Do not get caught up in the latest stock market fad. Every fad ends, and they ALL end the same way…badly!

4. Do not follow the crowd - when it comes to investment, inevitably the crowd is ALWAYS wrong.

5. Be cautious when investing borrowed money. Borrowings must be repaid in full whereas investments can fluctuate in value.

6. Carefully consider a company’s downside risk before investing. Preservation of capital is just as important as trying to make a fat profit.

7. Be patient when investing. Waiting for the right time to invest and exercising patience when investing is critical in the stock market.

8. Be disciplined and cut losses when necessary. Hoping the stock market will bounce back often leads to ruin.

9. Buy straw hats in winter - what the stock market shuns today is often embraced tomorrow!

10. Be honest with yourself. Admitting investment mistakes is imperative in share markets.


Happy Investing

@hello think value. Lets say you having been eying this 56" high definition TV at nakumatt. Its been going for 100k and you felt that it was a bit pricey for you. So you have been considering the less glamorous 45" that goes for 75k. Then you walk by after a week and notice that the price of the 56" has been slashed to 70k and the 45" to 60k. Now Will you buy the 56" or the 45"? Same with stocks its quite easy, buy good stocks at a discount.

Since am a Dummy in Stocks can you kindly give some extra direction on what you have written:-

young wrote:
1. Do not pay ridiculously high prices for stocks because overvalued companies always fall back to earth!How will one know the stock is now overvalued?
2. Pay close attention to charts when making decisions - a picture can be worth more than a thousand words!I find charts very confusing and difficult to follow.Can you guide on an easy way of reading these confusing graphs?
3. Do not get caught up in the latest stock market fad. Every fad ends, and they ALL end the same way…badly!

4. Do not follow the crowd - when it comes to investment, inevitably the crowd is ALWAYS wrong. What do you exactly mean by following the Crowd? Curretly everyone as talking KPLC do you mean we should be careful in buying KPLC?

5. Be cautious when investing borrowed money. Borrowings must be repaid in full whereas investments can fluctuate in value.

6. Carefully consider a company’s downside risk before investing. Preservation of capital is just as important as trying to make a fat profit.

7. Be patient when investing. Waiting for the right time to invest and exercising patience when investing is critical in the stock market.Right Time Sad when is this right time? u mean wait till prices are all down?

8. Be disciplined and cut losses when necessary. Hoping the stock market will bounce back often leads to ruin. Doesnt this point contradicts point#7. I bought TPS in 2007 at amost 75/= the price was never up.If I didnt have patience and sold the lot I will be now crying because of the Rights/Bonuses and the good price it's giving nowSad .The problem is When do u decide top "cut losses".

9. Buy straw hats in winter - what the stock market shuns today is often embraced tomorrow!

10. Be honest with yourself. Admitting investment mistakes is imperative in share markets.This one I did with Everready...smile had no choice..

Happy Investing

@Hello & Kyukkamba, l'd suggest you look for a thread titled Dumb investor...That's me...KCB at 32.25, go to post number 144 by some guy named Outvestor who was gracious to offer a link to some useful books about investing in stock markets.
