In Doubt Get Out Of Stock...

When you buy or sell a stock and it does not act right immediately or start to move in your favor within a reasonable length of time, get out of it. Your judgment gets worse the longer you hold on and hope for the market to go your way, and at extremes you always do the wrong thing. It is much better to take a quick loss of 2, 3, or 5 points than to hold on an hope and eventually take anywhere from a 10 to a 50-point loss. Stocks are not going to stop going up or down once they start just for your benefit. Always remember what Jim Keene said. If stocks won�t go your way, you must go their way. Always go with the tide, never buck it.

If you were on a rail road track and saw a train coming at 6o miles an hour, would you stand there and hope that the train would stop before it hit you, or would you hope that maybe you could knock it off the track? Of course you wouldn�t. You would get out of the way and do it quick. You should do the same thing in the stock market get out; let them go by, or get aboard and ride with them.

Trade In Active Stocks

Stocks traded in on the New York Stock Exchange always have a good market and you can get in and out when you want to. Ninety per cent of the unlisted and curb stocks disappear sooner or later. Leave the pups, cats and dogs, and mining stocks alone.

The same group of stocks over a long period of time do Of course, the big money is always made in trading in stocks that fluctuate over a wide range. For this reason, you must always be on the lookout for a new leader that will give opportunities for making big profits. Be up-to-date, keep up with the new stocks as they are listed, watch their development, and you will be able to pick the new live leaders and discard the old, inactive stocks.

Big money is made, not from dividends but from luctuations, if you know how to trade quickly. That is why it pays to trade in active stocks that make a wide range. If you have to take a loss in stocks of this kind, you can make it back very quickly, because opportunities occur often.
