Stock Tips
Who doesn’t need a little help when it comes to stock tips. Trading stocks is not a difficult thing to learn or to do successfully, but it does take discipline and patience. Over the years of trading stocks, I’ve learned that there are a few things to consider when investing in the stock market.
1. Emotions -Never let your emotions make your decisions when it comes to buying and selling stocks. Your emotions have a way of taking over any rational thinking. Always leave your emotions at the door before the opening bell rings.
2. Avoid listening to “great stock tips” – You will hear from people that they have a investment tip for you that will make big money. do your own homework, don’t trust what someone tells you as fact. If they did have any inside information, they would be breaking the law.
3. Due Diligence – You must continue to research each stock that you invest in. Expect to research a company for about an hour a week for each one you own.
4. Buy Incrementally – When you first buy into the stock, you need to know how much of a percentage of your portfolio you will allocate to that stock. Only purchase 1/2 of your position at first. Wait for a pull-back to buy the rest, but only buy 1/4 position at one time. The reason for that is that if the stock pulls back any more you can buy the next piece at an even cheaper price.
5. Exit Strategy – Just like you did before you bought into the company, you need to plan an exit strategy for when the fundamentals of the company change. staying informed about the companies that you invest in will help you from losing a good chunk of your gains. Many new investors don’t take this into consideration and end up losing more than they gain.
