2. Don't buy any stocks you didn't research yourself, i.e. never buy on merely a tip from someone else.

3. Don't be in too much of a hurry to buy or sell. If you're going to buy, buy stocks you'd be willing to hold onto for at least 20-30 years if not forever. If you're not willing to hold onto a stock for the long haul, don't buy.

Agree. But I must recommand SHLD.

It's had its run--up by a factor of 14 in 3-1/2 years. Don't expect that performance going forward.

If you were one of those who bought in early 2003 and is still holding the stock, I applaud you. :thumbsup:

Spend at least a couple hours researching anything you intend to buy.

Don't trade stocks at all, buy and hold stock index mutual funds instead.

Recent Chinese medical IPO, I got in at $17, it closed @ 19.71 today. They are reporting their quarterly earnings on NOV 16th.. if the numbers look good (which there is a good possibility they will) this stock should go to mid 20's or higher

Fiscal Year-End: December
2005 Sales (mil.): $134.9
1-Year Sales Growth: 60.2%
2005 Net Income (mil.): $25.6
1-Year Net Income Growth: 16.9%
2005 Employees: 2,200
1-Year Employee Growth: 51.7%

Haha, Google finance, thanks for the laugh.

I can agree with #1 and #2, but #3 is not correct for all people. Some stocks move quickly both up and down. If you buy a stock and it skyrockets, don't be afraid to sell some of it off. It all depends on your goals I guess.

You should have listened to me and bought MR. It's up over $1.54 today. Currently trading @ 20.55 -- it's going to keep raising too

I want to buy some stocks at 17 🙂 too bad I don't really have the money to invest.

Actually, the DALRQ advise is sound, probably the most sound advise that I've seen on this board.

They won't go out of business, and if they do, someone will acquire them. The stocks has no where to go but up. Worst case scenario? You lose a few thousand bucks, big whoopy (very unlikely that will happen).
