16 Rules for Investment Success....Sir John Templeton
| If you begin with a prayer, you can think more clearly and make fewer mistakes. |
| Outperforming the market is a difficult task. |
| Invest-don't trade or speculate. |
| Buy value, not market trends or the economic outlook. |
| When buying stocks, search for bargains among quality stocks. |
| Buy low. So simple in concept. So difficult in execution. |
| There's no free lunch. Never invest on sentiment. Never invest solely on a tip. |
| Do your homework or hire wise experts to help you. |
| Diversify - by company, by industry. |
| Invest for maximum total real return. |
| Learn from your mistakes. |
| Aggressively monitor your investments. Remember, no investment is forever. |
| An investor who has all the answers doesn't even understand all the questions. |
| Remain flexible and open-minded about types of investment. |
| Don't panic. |
| Do not be fearful or negative too often. |
