A few "rules" to remember:
1. Do not mistake a rising market for brains (I think John Kenneth Galbraith said that, but I might be wrong).
2. The trend is your friend, until it ends.
3. In every year, there is a Factor X (from left field) - be prepared for the unexpected.
4. The difference between illusion and reality - never the twain shall meet (Mark Twain).
5. A fool and his money are soon parted.
6. Read about Mr Market from Warren Buffett.
