Ten Rules for Investment Success... 1. Commit new investment capital to the market only when it is in an uptrend. 2. Invest in successful companies not problem companies. Choose small companies with innovative management, unique products, mass markets, rapidly growing sales and earnings. 3. Avoid huge, well known companies with billion dollar sales. Concentrate on companies with annual sales in the range of $20 million to $200 million. Such companies, if they have unique products and innovative management, can easily double in size, while the giant companies will have trouble growing even ten percent. 4. Sell stocks with consecutive bad quarters. 5. Diversify, your porfolio should contain a minimum of five stocks but no more than 12. 6. Cut your losses short. Don't fall in love with a stock, it's business. 7. Once committed to specific stocks, practice patience. Remember, the impatient investor seems to always sell before a big move in their former security. 8. Don't be afraid to average up. Good performers move and if you want to be a part of that you have to keep buying. 9. Let your winners run. Don't settle for small money. 10. Set limit and stop loss orders. It will save you money. SK
