<b>A simple check list, I like to follow:</b>
<ul>
<li>Never make any buys in the first <b>45 minutes</b> of trading, I learnt this from a hedge fund manager.
<li>I make most of my buy sin the last <b>15 minutes</b> before market close.
<li>I have COMPLETELY stopped listening to CNBC and the Gurus thereof.
<li>Never hold more than <b>8</b> stocks or Etfs or Mutal Funds at any give time.
<li>Always have stop losses in place, a simple rule of thumb is to set <b>7%</b> trailing stop.
<li>Always have an overall idea of where the broader market is. I suggest you read this post for more details.
<li>Don't look for what others are doing. Make a decision and go with it
</ul>
