Investment Strategies<br />
As mentioned in the first chapter, a strategy is a plan that helps you<br />
determine what stocks to buy or sell. If you are new to the stock market,<br />
it’s best to keep an open mind before choosing a strategy. If a particular<br />
strategy seems to make sense to you, take the time to do more<br />
research. It can take a long time before you find an investment strategy<br />
that not only makes sense but also increases the value of your portfolio.<br />
Keep in mind that you aren’t limited to only one strategy. Some<br />
investors and traders use a variety of strategies, whereas others are<br />
comfortable using only one. No matter what strategy you use, here are<br />
a few things you should remember:<br />
1. A strategy is only as good as the person using it. In other words,<br />
no matter how brilliant and ingenious the strategy, you can still<br />
lose money.<br />
2. Not all strategies work during all market conditions.<br />
