HOW TO AVOID INVESTMENT MISTAKES
6 MISTAKES YOU SHOULD AVOID IN INVESTING:
1. Letting Emotions Run Wild
2. Investing in Something You Don’t Understand
3. Falling in Love with a Company
4. Unrealistic Expectations
5. Attempting to Time the Market
6. Failing to Diversify
Develop a Plan of Action
Determine what your goals are and how much you need to invest to get there. If you don’t feel qualified to do this, seek a reputable advisor.
Develop a Plan of Action
Find one who will work for a fee and who does
not receive incentives to sell you high-commission products and will explain
to you the rationale for choosing one investment
over another.
Develop a Plan of Action
Do not expect your portfolio to make you rich
overnight. A consistent, long-term investment
strategy over time is what will build wealth.
Systemize Your Plan
As your income grows, you may want to expand your portfolio. Monitor your investments, review them and their performance over a fixed time frame you determine.
Systemize Your Plan
Evaluate whether your equity-to-fixed-income ratio should stay the same or change based on where you are in life.
Set up a “Play Fund”
We’re all tempted to take a bigger risk and “gamble” sometimes. So, instead of trying to fight it, go with it. Set aside your “fun investment money.”
As with any game, there are rules: You should limit this amount to no more than 5% of your investment portfolio. Do not use retirement money
Set up a “Play Fund”
Be prepared to lose 100% of your investment; and ALWAYS set a pre-determined limit to determine when you will walk away (Stop Loss).

Commit To It
Investing mistakes are part of the investing
process. Knowing what they are, avoid
committing them, develop a thoughtful, systematic plan and
stick with it.
Commit To It
Follow these guidelines, and you will be well on your
way to building a portfolio that will
provide many happy returns over the
long-term.
