Invest with Your Head, Not Your Heart

Invest with Your Head, Not Your Heart

  1. Buy or sell based on feelings instead of research–this is the same as gambling.
  2. Put off starting an investment program–the earlier you start, the more you’ll accumulate.
  3. Get paralyzed by information overload–pick a few reliable sources; you don’t need to read everything.
  4. Ignore the need for discipline–start an automatic investment plan today.
  5. Become impatient for results–investing is like building your own house; you don’t want to cut corners because you’re going to have to live there.
