You have inspired me, here are HR86 rules of stock:

1. You don't make, or lose money unless you sell. You aren't up anything till you process that order, and the cash clears 3 business days later. Don't buy into financial news hype, your stock is nothing but paper in a vault till you sell it.

2. Ride the wave, don't go under it. Assets are constantly changing value whether you see it or not, just because your house doesn't having a ticker tracking its value doesn't mean that value is constant. Following the tickers too close and you go crazy and do stupid things. Treat your stock more like houses. Buy things you like, hold them for many years and upgrade (reinvest dividends), and you will do well when its time to sell.

3. Only buy dividend paying stocks and reinvest the dividends. Just like a guy who has lots of 'potential' but never picks up the tab, a stock without dividends is a scrub. If they can't afford dividends, then why did they go out to eat (get on the exchange)? That stock just made its money on you investing. I don't want no scrub.

4. Only buy companies in things you understand. If you can't figure out if the business is doing well, or why you expect it to grow, don't buy it. Stick to what you do well, and as you learn more expand.

5. Ignore financial news, these guys are always there to sell you something or on something.

6. (more of a general life rule) Danish Clogs are NOT an investment. Even if Dragonfury claims they help him pick up Korean girls: A. hes lying, B. why would you believe a man in clogs anyway, do you ask clowns for advice on stocks or picking up girls? I rest my case.

Live by these rules, and you will prosper.
