Tips for when you're active on the stock market: The prices seems to be either going up or down with a predestined roof and floor, with a exceptions. As IRL: don't catch a falling knife, meaning wait for the price to bounce back up and buy on the first up-tick. Then wait for the next stock to fall down and trade in all your other possessions in that one. A few guiding rules: 1. Nevermind what you paid, it's the active prices that are relevant. 2. Keep your capital active, a couple of small gains quickly beats a few big ones. 3. Translate your gain to percentage, going from 30 to 40 is a 33% gain while 40 to 50 is only 25%.
