Words of Wisdom

I wish I can have the following attributes when it comes to investing.

• Exercise independent thought, as you'll shoulder the responsibility of your decisions.

• Only risk (trade with) what you can afford to lose.

• Always ask "why" rather than "what?"

• Running with the herd may prove profitable but it often obscures the edge of the cliff.

• Size matters in more ways than one; if you're staring at every tick, you're likely out-sized in your positions.
