MOST COMMON STOCK MARKET MISTAKES

While teaching students how to profit consistently in the stock market, i see people
habitually making the same mistakes.  If you want to thrive, do not be guilty of these:

1)  GETTING MARRIED TO YOUR STOCKS  - Over the past 100 years, the stock market
      as risen dramatically so those who invested long-term have been rewarded but
      times change.  Nowadays, the US stock market does not reward long-term
      investors as it once dit.  So you need to monitor them closely and know when to
      get out.

2)  NOT ACCEPTING LOSSES - We are all wrong sometime but the trick is to know
      when to cut losses and move on instead of inaction in the stock market. 

3)  TRUSTING TIPS -  YOU NEED TO DE YOUR OWN RESEARCh!!!!   Don't gamble on
      the stock market if you want to invest but quality blue-chip companies and
      remember not to get married to tem and ignore speculative long-shot tips!!!!
