ADVICE

Trade Slowly—Avoid Perfect Timing

  • Accept 'good enough' rather than striving for perfect timing in buys and sells.
  • Buy slowly on the way down and sell gradually on the way up to manage risk.
ADVICE

  • After a 20% move higher, ring the register and take some profits to raise cash.
  • Use that cash to buy more if the stock corrects later.
INSIGHT
