Regarding Stock Trading:
1) Don’t speculate with money you can’t afford to lose. We believe that you should only have 10% of your portfolio in highly speculative stocks. To do otherwise is foolhardy.
2) Take Profits.
Greed, many times, will keep you in a stock after a 20-30% profit….thinking that it will soon double or triple….but alas...on many occasions the stock goes back down to your buy point, or lower. A 20-30% profit is nothing to sneeze at. One effective strategy that will force a person to take profits is to sell half of any position with a 20% profit, and put a stop loss on the remaining shares at a price 5% below the price at which you sold the first half of your position.
3) Don’t Marry a Stock!
We expect our stock picks to move at least 20% within 90 days and at least 30% within 6 months. If they don’t, it’s better to sell and move on to another stock acting better. I know it’s hard to do, but if a stock moves 10% below your purchase price it’s probably better to sell and take your loss…..if you don’t , in many cases that small loss inevitably turns into a very large loss.This rule doesn't necessarily apply when I am buying quality stocks that I plan to hold for investmentat and which are at historically low prices. I might buy 40% of my allocation for that stock now, and 30% more on each 20% decline in the stock's price. This strategy will help ensure that I have good entry prices for my investment.
