You should always feel like you’re in charge of your investment portfolio. You choose what goes in, you choose what stays in, and you choose what comes out. Once you’ve made an investment, continue to manage it actively. If it doesn’t perform the way you expect, make a conscious decision to reduce it or get out altogether.

Successful investing is about making money. It’s not about being right. Choosing the right investment to make is important. Buying it at the right price is almost just as important. You can use charts to help you pick the right time and price to buy. Longer time-frames allow you to see the long-term trend. The trend is always your friend! Make investments in line with the trend.
