okay, quiz time. The first lesson that all the newbies have hopefully now learned is: 1) Don't be the last fool. You can avoid being the last fool by not buying companies that have poor fundamentals. Now for lessons #2: 2) Don't try to catch a falling knife. If the company had poor fundamentals yesterday, one week isn't going to change that. The downside of buying a stock that's going up in spite of poor fundamentals is, since it didn't go up for fundamental reasons, you can't expect fundamentals to hold the stock up. When momentum interest fades, the stock falls.
