Improving and ultimately succeeding as an investor, as in any other
activity, require discipline and following certain rules. Markets
offer an investor a great many resources to gamble with, such as
stocks, bonds, mutual funds, options, calls, puts, commodities,
shorting, and so on. This surely can be an overwhelming experience.
Many investors act like kids in a candy store and frequently
go for the most popular item. If stocks have been performing well
lately, they buy stocks. If it’s bonds that are doing well, they buy
bonds, and so on. The problem with this approach becomes clear
when investors choose to assign most, if not all, of their money to
stocks, bonds, or cash, often seeing the type of securities they
avoided appreciate in value. Thus, diversification with different
type of securities (e.g., cash, bonds, and stocks) is vital.

It is very important to identify and learn the basic rules that all investors must follow if
they want to prevail as stock purchasers. Profitable investing, without
a doubt, can be learned. Despite popular belief, it is not some
kind of clandestine operation, although it does use its own jargon,
trying to protect its insular community.

And one pattern they habitually display is
that uptrends are always followed by downtrends, and vice versa.
In the future we will repeatedly continue to experience bull markets
and bear markets. Similar to our own lives, in which we experience
both good times and bad, slumps and booms in the stock
market are inevitable. Everything is cyclical. And it is no wonder
that people say, “The more things change, the more they remain
the same.”
