Rules to trade by

Number 1 rule is have a plan and stick to it. You need to decide if you want to be a long term investor or a short term trader. If you want to do both have them on separate portfolios.
Number 2 rule only use YouTube gurus as another tool. I've made the most money on stocks that I found myself before the gurus start making a million videos about them. Remember the gurus make money when you watch their videos so some will put out 3 or 4 a day just to get more money.
Number 3 rule buy the rumor and sell the news. Whenever good news comes out on a stock investors will take notice and want to get in so that is the best time to sell.
Number 4 rule buy the dip and sell the rip. Never chase a stock once it makes a big move up and never try to catch a falling knive.
Number 5 rule what goes up must come down. Whenever a stock makes a huge move up there almost always a huge pullback down. Stocks that move up gradually will hold their value way better than a stock that explodes in just a couple of days.
