Look at that 200 day average of the market. You can use yahoo or MSN or any chart. The trend is your friend. Make sure the market as a whole is going up. I use the S&P 500 when it is trading above the 200-day moving average I buy. When it is not. I am not in the market. Make sure the 200-day moving average is going up. It is that simple. If you did this, you would not have lost any money in 2008.

That is it. If you made that rule, you would not be in the stock market today in December 2008. In fact, you would not have had any money in stocks in 2008. You would have got out of the stock market in 2007.

Never, ever buy stocks if the market as a whole is going down. It is better to be in cash. Why do the geniuses managing money not know this? I do not even recommend bonds. You need to be in cash or near cash. That is it.

Do not buy companies that are not making money. Buy companies that are making money now. Today. Not on expectations in three years. And if you want to make money in stocks, buy stocks that you like. Do not listen to the analysts, Warren Buffet, or anyone else. How to make money in stocks? Listen to yourself.

I knew a 100-year-old rich investor when I was a stockbroker. He said his secret was “do not buy companies that go out of business”. I would say yes and do not buy companies that are not making money today. This is how to make money in stocks.
