~~The Investing Cheat Sheet~~

I created an Investing Cheat Sheet of some of my tricks in finding good stocks, important websites to know, and my thoughts on what to do and not do when investing. It has taken me YEARS to figure all of this stuff out. For new investors, this information just may put you years ahead of other new investors who have to spend years figuring this out on their own.

When you invest, do NOT go 'long'. Do not 'fall in love' with your stock. it does NOT work well in the OTC. Feel free to have one or two long positions, but invest, make a profit, and SELL.

Read my post here on buying, selling, reinvesting, repeat:

The market is NOT YOUR FRIEND. Do NOT think that just because you are 'you', that you have some special connection with the market and that the market will be 'kind to you'. 90%+ of new investors NEVER make a profit.

Charts do NOT decide price. Price decides the chart. Charts are meant to help solidify our belief in an investment so that when the price declines, we dont make stupid decisions by selling based on emotion.

Two methods I created which give you a better chance at making profit:

Investing using the 'Rule of Numbers' method:

'Unknown Main Investment' method

There is a VERY HIGH degree of RISK involved in trading and INVESTING. Only invest what you can afford to lose.
There is a VERY HIGH degree of RISK involved in trading and INVESTING. Only invest what you can afford to lose.

!!!!
This is probably the most important sentence you will EVER read and it just may save you from losing all of your money:

Quote:
Do NOT invest unless you are prepared to sustain a total loss of the money you have invested plus any commission or other transaction charges.


Start small! Don't invest in a $5 per share stock if its your first investment ever.

Do not fall for the 'These are gift prices! Buy more!', which you read all the time in these boards. Averaging down has its place, but the majority of investors here own millions of worthless shares and buy more on dips because they think that by owning 'more', their shares have a better chance of 'winning'.

NOT TRUE!

Stock strength is made by AVERAGING UP! Its shows the stock has interest behind it. But only average up when there is reason to.

Heres an old post of mine from 2016:

https://investorshangout.com/post/view?id=4080258



Not investment advice


Again, why is it the majority of people in these boards never make huge profits, yet own millions of shares? Its because buying more of something does NOT make it worth more.

I know this is a very difficult concept to understand and took me years to break out of the mindset of, "Price is going down! Gotta buy more!"


KNOW WHEN TO SELL! Seeing you only invest what you can afford to lose, you are not worried about selling at a loss if necessary, correct? I am a firm believer in the notion that the majority of investors do not sell when the price plummets because they invested more than they can afford to lose.

This is why we constantly read posts such as, "It'll go back up soon!" and "I can't sell, im in too deep".

I never understood the reasoning behind owning $100,000 paper profits, not selling, and watching the price fall, only to have to 'hope for it to go back up'. Save yourself a headache - Stop being greedy. Take the profits.

Of course, I know why many do not sell. They're stuck with that hounding, greedy voice taunting them, "Do NOT sell! This may go higher!!" Have fun listening to that voice and watching 100 grand disappear.

Do not try to make $1 million off of one stock. Scroll back up and read the part that said, "Invest, sell, reinvest, sell, repeat".

None of this is investment advice. Feel free to ignore and disagree with some or all of this. Does not matter to me. This is what works for me. Find your own route.
