1. Use fundamental analysis to identify which companies' shares to buy; use technical analysis to decide when to buy and when to sell.

2. Listen to what people are saying, but do your own independent analysis.

3. Stick with your convictions. Just because your share price is on the decline does not mean that the company is in decline. ("If a business does well, the share price eventually follows.")

4. Small is beautiful: Smaller companies are more likely to be multi-baggers than bigger companies are.

5. Be an investor, not a trader: If you could afford to buy a particular company at its current market price, would you? If yes, buy the share. Else, don't.

6. Don't expect to reap a harvest immediately after sowing the seed. In this game, Patience pays - quite literally.

Happy Investing!

@godswen: Thanks!

For investors: It might be a good idea to keep 75% of your shares under the CDS locked balance facility. The remaining shares, you could trade with - to take advantage of short term movements. (Just a thought.)

Thanks for the explanation, your answers very helpful to new comers like me. so + rep

I have a question on this post. Please explain what you mean by ' It might be a good idea to keep 75% of your shares under the CDS locked balance facility.'

You mentioned in the previous comment 'use technical analysis to decide when to buy and when to sell.'... please give some guidelines on this, how to learn about technical analysis (it's mainly reading graphs right?)

Thanks Smile

The CSE has recently introduced a facility whereby you have the option of 'locking away' your shares, if you do not intend to sell them in the near future. They are maintained in a 'locked account' in your name; I think it is a sub-account within the main account. For me, that's a good way to resist the temptation to sell. Check with your broker for details.

Yes, technical analysis involves reading charts and graphs. At one level, it is linked with behavioural science and is fairly reliable. However, it is NOT a substitute for fundamental analysis. I would suggest that you read up on the basics - on the internet, perhaps...?
