 New investors tend to make the same mistakes simply due to
inexperience and unfamiliarity with the marketplace. For instance,
new investors hear a great deal about market fluctuation and the
importance of timing the market. Timing the market assumes that
any investor can prognosticate and get ahead of impending
changes. Rather than gazing into an investment crystal ball, learn
the market and seek counsel from more experienced investors.

 Timing the market is one indicator that a new investor jumped
into the market without a written plan. Putting a plan down on
paper affords investors the ability to set goals. By setting goals,
investors can monitor how close they are to attaining them. But
take care not to become emotionally attached to investments.
Many new investors pursue a company or product out of an
emotional connection to that entity. Remember to view
investments purely as a method of furthering financial goals and
opportunities.
