The market is a very emotional place that appeals to fear and greed.
Be careful of leverage. It can go against you.
Don't be in too much of a hurry to sell.
Each year we buy stocks and they go up, we sell them and then we try to buy something cheaper.
We may buy a little bit of a stock, to get our feet wet and get a feeling for it.
Have patience. Stocks don't go up immediately.
