Actually @bossivic you asked tips yesterday? One tip that I think all traders, investors, anyone playing the stock market must have is conviction. Its very easy to do the research, but even easier to be discouraged by forums , articles, social media etc. You must back yourself (within reason)
See it happen on HC every day, someone posts about their research, someone else goes CR incoming, stock goes up because actually no CR is coming, but the poor sod sold because of someones post.
