Came across this very good article on what to note when investing

Rule #4 and #9 are my favorites and what i try to adhere to

"You can find a fabulous company with great competitive advantage. But there are two problems. It may not be cheap because most investors recognise it is a great company and have already invested"

Yes, she is my favorite blogger too.
Her writing style resonance with me.

Lets get a little bit practical.

Rule #4 Best time to sell.

At this moment, is it best time to sell?
If not, is it best time to buy?
If not, why not?
If yes, why yes?

From my experience, most of the time, people will contemplate and all the theory remains a ...... (fill in yourself)

Anytime is a good time to take profit. Anytime is a good time to pull out the weeds. Once in a blue moon, (on hindsight) you realised you have bought or sold at the right time. Best time, i suppose? The rest of the time, is "Anytime"
WB:-

1) Rule # 1, do not lose money.
2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1.
3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.

Truism of Investments.
A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.

That's something I have to disagree with respectfully. Just look at the 52 week price chart of companies.

Personal experiences include Apple, Aflac, Challenger, The Hour Glass and so on. For Apple's case, I had the front row seat on its journey up to $700, back down to $400, and back up again... all in the span of 2 years!

At least, she thought it was a bad move. She yanked all her money from the stock market and put it in cash.

It went against every investment instinct the former librarian had developed over the years. She was a "buy and hold" kind of investor who prided herself on patience and a long-term focus
