Father's Day: my no.1 Trading rule!

My father started trading many years ago since stocks prices were checked using TV teletex and stocks were traded by calling their brokers!
The few things that he taught me and I will definitely pass on to my kids!

1) Always check the company financial condition and EPS before investing!
2) Check the stock MA trending 30 / 60 / 90 for upcoming trending!
3) News are usually temporary lift/drop for stock prices
4) Stocks with govt backing have gd potential and strong backing

The above are not trading advices so pls trade with caution :)
