Thanks Gizard, you went on my favourites list quite some time ago for a similar post. Always people are burnt in the pump and dumps.

There are 2,000 stocks out there, don't follow the dogs. Find the good ones and follow them.

Research.

Always average up, don't average down.

Some companies mine the sharemarket, not the ground.

Never put shares "in the bottom darwer."

Don't have too many positions.

Stoplosses, learn to love them.

If you are going to trade, make it with meaningful money. Don't put 1/2 percent of your capital in a stock, you are more likely to ignore/disregard it.

Be very careful of any advice on HC. Why is a stranger giving you advice on a stock? I have seen some fantastic posts and I have seen some very underhand behaviour.

Newsletters are there to generate subscription funds, not for the benefit of your profits. In saying this, I do subscribe to one newsletter, have made plenty of money by buying a few of their tips and will be resubscribing.

Gizard's 5% rule, I break this rule as I build a longer term position in stocks as I average up over a few months. However, I don't let it go over 20% and this is in very good companies, not stocks that are held for a day or a week.

Some time ago in feedback I made the suggestion that we could make some notes on posters that became visible as we hovered over a poster's nick. These are of course only visible to myself. Notes such as "team ramper captain", "quality posts on gold", "knows small gold stocks", "newby" would be useful.

The trend is your friend till the bend at the end.
