Excellent advice. I like it when I hear similar suggestions from a wide variety of people. It reinforces how important these issues are. I particularly like to see people stress risk management and developing a strategy (or 'game plan') for their trading. If you 'wing it' on impulse you will lose. Also, even if you have a successful or profitable strategy, if you don't use proper risk management => you will still lose. Thanks for the great post. -Eric

I am earning a lot of respect for many of you. Thank you for your patience and diligence. I am a long way from full-time. Besides, I like my job. I do have some goals I hope to achieve very early. However, at this point, I've made just about every mistake possible. I feel like I have learned quite a bit, but, I am still feeling a little helpless and hopeless. There seem so many options, but I have gotten cynical about investing because I feel there is so much manipulation in the market, and I am out of the loop. So, even with all of your great advice, I am still sitting here without a clue where to start (besides reading the book 5 times) as far as a stock. For example, I feel that EGRP still has very solid potential for a plethora of reasons that are solid. But, again, I feel like it is also a stock that is controlled by the mood of someone that I don't know!! lol So, what do you say to that? By the way, if you get tired of answering all my questions, feel free to hurt my feelings or ignore..........
