IN INVESTING:
1. Letting Emotions Run Wild
2. Investing in Something You Don’t Understand
3. Falling in Love with a Company
4. Unrealistic Expectations
5. Attempting to Time the Market
6. Failing to Diversify

Determine what your
goals are and how
much you need to

for a fee and who does
not receive incentives to
sell you high-commission
products and will explain
to you the rationale for
choosing one investment
over another.

5. Develop a Plan of Action
Do not expect your
portfolio to make you rich
overnight. A consistent,
long-term investment
strategy over time is what
will build wealth.

you may want to expand
your portfolio. Monitor
your investments, review
them and their
performance over a fixed
time frame you
determine.

Evaluate whether
your equity-to-fixed-
income ratio should
stay the same or
change based on
where you are in
life.

8. Set up a “Play Fund”
We’re all tempted to
take a bigger risk and
“gamble” sometimes.
So, instead of trying to
fight it, go with it. Set
aside your “fun
investment money.”

there are rules: You
should limit this
amount to no more
than 5% of your
investment portfolio.

100% of your

will walk away (Stop
Loss).
