1. You only have three choices when you are in a bad position, and it is not
hard to figure out what to do: (1) Get out, (2) double up, or (3) spread it
off. I have always found getting out to be the best of all three choices.
2. No opinion on the market or you are doubtful about market direction?
Then stay out. Remember, when in doubt, stay out.
3. Don’t ever let anyone know how big your wallet is, and don’t ever let
3. Don’t ever let anyone know how big your wallet is, and don’t ever let
anyone know how small it is either.
4. If you snooze, you lose. Know your markets, when they trade, and what
reports will affect the market price.
5. The markets will always let you in on the losers; the market’s job is to

6. Stops are not for sissies.
7. Plan your trade, then trade your plan. He who fails to plan, plans to fail.
8. Buy the rumor and sell the fact. Watch for volatility in these situations;
it usually marks tops or bottoms in the markets.
9. Buy low, sell high. Or buy it when nobody wants it, and sell it when
everybody has to have it!
10. It’s okay to lose your shirt, just don’t lose your pants; that is where your
wallet is.
