My Core Investing Principles
- Only invest what you can afford to lose
- Keep it simple, buy and hold, let compounding do its thing
- Don’t try to time the market, leave that to the experts
- Use short-selling, leverage, and derivatives with caution, or not at all
- Don’t try to catch falling knives
- Only invest in what you can understand, otherwise indexing is your friend
- Business fundamentals first, valuations or technical analysis come later
- Review and rebalance, but not too often
- If you’re losing sleep over investments, you’re taking too much risk
- Let the stock market do its job, get a life!
