In a word, discipline is the key to a successful investment strategy. At Investment U, we have sought to give the public some fundamental tools about how to exercise discipline to avoid financial disaster. You will notice, for example, that we put a lot of emphasis on Trailing Stops. That’s because the only thing worse than losing 25% of an investment is losing 30%… or 50%.
Here are a few more ways to exercise discipline. You’ll also find several explosive strategies for picking winning stocks. Combine one or more of these investment strategies with a strict trailing stop policy, and you’ll be way ahead of the average investor.
