Ten tips to help you invest in the stock market | Know when to make a move in the stock market by the position of the planets. Others depend on intuition. For those who would rather give com mon sense a try, the North Carolina Association of CPA's recommends some simple guidelines that can give you a winning advantage on Wall Street. 1. Don't invest more than you can afford to lose. CPAs remind you to keep enough money aside to meet your everyday needs as well as emer gencies. Picking a winning stocck won't help you if you are forced to sell before its price goes up. How much money to invest in the stock market depends on your financial situation, the nature of your other investments, your investment strategy and several other (actors. Whatever you invest, to be safe, first build a financial base by putting your money into low-risk stocks. Then move on to growth, ag gressive growth and speculative stocks only when you feel comfort able doing so. 2. Be sure to set some goals. Do you want to invest for short-term profit or long-term appreciation? Once you de cide, buy only those stocks that fit your strategy. 3. Don't hold on to losers. No one can invest without running into at least some disappointing deals. The trick is to cut your losses by getting out before you lose too much money. Many investors find this hard to do. After all, do one likes to tqake a loss, much leu admit they picked a sour investment. Others become attached to a favorite stock and won't sell it. Remember, if a stock loses half its value, its price will have to double for your to break-even. 4. Diversify. One basic rule for gaining in the stock market is to di versify your holdings. Too many in vestments of different types, however, can be difficult to track. A good mutual fund is one recognized way to diversify. 5. Look to the future. Looking only at a stock's history is not the best way to measure future performance. You may find a clue in the past, but the business and economic forces the company (aces In the next few years coukl bold much at the stock's fate. So take the time to consider what lies ahead. By the same token, don't wait until it is to late too make a purchase. 6. Don't take tips. Rumors abound in investment circles as individuals hunt for those rare deals that will dou ble or triple their money. The serious investor is not apt to act on questiona ble advice. 7. Be patient. While some investors are slow to sell, others are too quick to unload. Even the best investments need time to pay off. Don't panic or react too quickly to adverse news un less it reflects serious problems at the company and in its industry. The company may very well survive bad t headlines >. Be realistic. U you are prudent, your goal will not be to make a lot of money in a abort period of time. Those great buys that produce hefty overnight profits are rare. Better to follow your strategy closely, be pa tient, and enjoy the profits when they come. 9. Find a stockbroker you can trust. The personal chemistry between you and your broker, and subsequently how easy it is to communicate, can make the difference between success and failure. Find one who listens and understands your goals. 10. Buy what you know. Many peo ple fail to tap their own expertise and knowledge when choosing stocks. If, for esample, you are involved In the publishing industry and know all about the industry's problems and op portunities, don't buy" stocks in the food industry where you may have less practical knowledge. If you are a a regular customer at a large company , ^ you may already know enough about the company to evaluate the pros pects for its securities. Purchased wisely, stocks can be an important part of your financial plan. But choosing the winners is not easy. It will help to follow a clear strategy and make careful choices. It is also important to choose a good financial planning team. A CPA can help you analyze the tax efforts of taking ig gain or loss, and can help you with" your overall financial plan.
