I've been in and interested in the stock market so long (one year shy of forty years) I can remember when the mutual fund pages in my home town paper were just one page! Now it looks like there are more mutual funds then there are stocks...

Personal Finance 101
The subject of personal finance is very broad, but as a beginning, I would like to discuss what I consider the foundation of personal finance: security. Security Security to me means that I am prepared for the "hit by a bus" scenario. I have...
Six Things To Do In A High Risk Market
When the market turns against you, what should you do? Sell everything? We discussed that choice in a recent column. Selling everything draws your “line in the sand” and announces that you have determined there is no future for you in the market.

Keep Your Investment Profits
KEEP YOUR INVESTMENT PROFITS
Have you had one of those huge investment winners – a stock that went from $2.00 to $80.00? Or any other numbers you want that gave you a gigantic percent profit?
Did you take the profit or did you watch the equity drop back down to what you paid for it? I hope you sold and kept the money. That’s what it
is all about. So many times when I was a broker I have seen customers make large profits and then think they were omniscient about trading
and within a short period give back what they had made.
As a brokerage company owner I had seasoned brokers do the sane thing. One of my men made $150,000 in a short time. I called to congratulate his performance and suggested he
take a vacation from trading for a while. He said, “No, Al, I know what I am doing”. The very next month he lost $155,000. What happened?
Listen carefully as I am going to tell you one of the great truisms not found in the trading training manuals. If you are doing any trading whether in stocks, mutual funds, real estate,
currencies, whatever, this applies. Print this out, frame it and put it up on your office wall.
“Making a lot of money is just as upsetting to your mind as losing a lot of money”.
A big score destabilizes thinking. Many people want to do it again and again so they immediately plunge back into their investments with their
winning cash and make bigger bets. It
is almost without exception that they become losers and give back their winnings.
For many years I have advocated taking time off after a big profit. It takes time to get your head on straight again. As a former floor trader
I would have about 6 or 8 times during the year when I made a good “hit”. Then I would immediately call my travel agent to ask where I could go for a week. I knew I must get away because my investment strategy would be clouded
by success.
Too many of the big winners seem to alter their basic trading plan because they now had a large
amount with which to trade causing them to deviate from their successful pattern. They then became losers. Because of their success their
thinking changed and they were not aware of what had happened. The trader must get away and let his emotions down.
A disturbing event, even a positive one, can alter up your thinking. If you want to keep yourinvestment profits you must keep your emotions under control.
