INVEST, BE WRONG, AND MAKE MONEY IN THE STOCK MARKETWritten by AL THOMAS

small and let your profits run. How many times have you heard that one? BUT how many times have you ignored that rule? At end of year when you analyze your trades you find that you made $3.00 for each $1.00 you lost you will show a nice big profit. I don’t care what business you are in you don’t put your whole wad on a single outcome and stick with it until it either works or go broke. That is what brokers and mutual fund managers want you to do. They want you to buy, but never sell. It is a tragedy for small investor today that mutual fund families are putting in selling restrictions to discourage investors from dumping funds that are headed down. Many require long holding periods and if you sell prior to that time they charge an extra fee of 2%. They give lame excuses that I know are not true for doing this. Never buy any fund or trade with any brokerage company that has that kind of rule. It is cheaper to pay 2% or whatever fee there is and get out than hang around and lose 20% to 40% of your equity. Look back at 2000 to 2003. This can happen again despite what your broker tells you. Be wrong and run home with most of your money. You still have enough to invest in a better opportunity. If you are disciplined to get out of any bad situation early you will end up a rich person.
