A few tips for beginner investors: 1) Never buy a stock in a Stage 4 downtrend. 2) Never buy a stock below its 200-day moving average. 3) Focus on the leaders, not the laggards. 4) If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. 5) In a bull market, be long. 6) Hope is not a strategy. 7) Being wrong is okay, staying wrong is unacceptable. 8) To generate alpha: make more or lose less. 9) Always know when to get out before you get in. 10) There are only a few periods in the year to make money. 11) Protect your financial and emotional capital. 12) Don't make decisions out of fear or greed. 13) Don't fall for value traps; valuations are a terrible timing indicator. 14) Forget buy and hold; it's buy, hold, and check. 15) Follow your own strategy. 16) Small losses and quick losses are the best losses. 17) Learn to sell. 18) If you don't sell early, you'll sell late. 19) The big money is made from two or three opportunities each year. 20) Patience. 21) Do more of what's working for you and less of what’s not. 22) When you experience big losses, take time off. 23) Get aggressive when things are working; get defensive when things are not. 24) Fight on the side of the market that is winning. 25) Don’t pick the bottom and don’t call tops. 26) Focus on stocks making new highs; new highs are where the money is. 27) Respect the other side of the trade; know both sides. 28) Never argue with the market. 29) Stack the odds in your favor. 30) You don’t need to be right all the time to make money. 31) Get comfortable being wrong. 32) It’s not how much you make, it’s how much you keep. 33) Write down why you bought and sold a stock. 34) Keep it simple. 35) Charts don't lie. 36) Never buy a stock on recommendations. 37) Do your diligence. 38) Every bull market ends, just as every bear market does. 39) High performance is a function of skill and luck; and luck comes and goes. 40) Timing is everything. 41) Bend with the trend. 42) Never average losers. 43) When in doubt, get out. 44) Don’t listen to the news, listen to the market. Hope this helps.

@Selling4Premium Don't think price is the main factor, especially since you can buy fractional shares too. It's mainly earnings and positive expectations.

@longshuang Maybe this helps:

You don't know in advance. You'll always be late or early. Otherwise you'd be a billionaire. But the most important skill to develop is to know what a natural reaction. For example, if a stock goes up 40%, it's completely normal to give back 10% during a natural correction. A lot of that comes from years of experience. Ultimately, you need clear rules for when to sell. But you don't have to sell everything. You can sell a third, or half of it. And if it turns out that it was only temporary you can just buy it back.

@gloriadustin1 Which ones do you find conflicting?

@Walihaidari5 Very good books!

@sydneystrk9888 Most of that is already priced in... But I'm not saying this is the ultimate top. Bitcoin is likely higher in 5 years. But there could be more short-term pain ahead.

@cmpndng For now yes

There are a few things: - A strong dollar is a headwind - Altcoins have been killed (many down 50% or more) - No actionable crypto executive order so far - Increased volatility - Meme coins frenzy - MSTR topped months ago All this is to say that we could see a correction down to maybe 80k for Bitcoin, which would be a good buying opportunity if that were to happen. Of course, this is not a prediction; it's only my observation. So, take this with a grain of salt.

@SwedishFish72 They're all solid. So, hard to choose a favorite...

@Louboatm I think short-term yes. Long-term no. I'm pretty sure bitcoin will be higher in 5 years.

@theMacroSpec @djcloudie Either your stop loss is too tight, or your timing is off. But it's also okay to get stopped out a few times as long as your risk/reward ratio is good.

RT @Speculator_io: The simple guide to making money in stocks: Market Uptrend → Leading Sectors → Leading Stocks → Low-Risk Entries → Clea…

@pippenjarra25 Yeah I just wanted to highlight the ones that are leading right now. Quantum is setting up but could still go either way.

@golfingmedic How do you use that? Or what looks best in your list?

@priceactionnerd Thanks!

@Jayriq HIMS is clearly a leader. But one stock is not really a sector...
