Invest actively and aggressively
from The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham
How to Apply This
- Keep your stocks.
Avoid constantly buying and selling your stocks; instead, hold yourself to holding your stocks for a minimum period unless a specific scenario happens, which you determine beforehand. - Avoid hypes.
A lot of hype around stock issues is going to drive the price of the stock up. Avoid investing in these stocks. - Time your purchasing and selling.
Buy during a low market and sell during a high market (as opposed to what many people tend to do). - Carefully investigate growth stocks.
Growth stocks are high-risk, so it’s important to conduct research before buying them. They are a high-risk, high-reward part of the portfolio of an active investor. - Buy bargain issues of different types.
Look at bonds and different sorts of issues to find the under-priced stocks. - Buy unpopular stocks.
Conduct a thorough analysis and identify whether they provide a better deal than overpriced stocks bought by everyone.
