Don’t Panic, Keep Investing By : Bob Munroe Not so long ago, back before the Dot-Com bubble, wise men with many letters after their name would calmly argue, all the while keeping a straight face, for something called the “Efficient Market Theory”. The market, they said, knew EVERYTHING there was to know about a particular stock or bond, and therefore, the current price the market was paying was clearly the RIGHT price given all available information. In the future things might be different, events might make a stock seem worth more or less, and the price would go up or down accordingly, but trying to out-guess the market, with today’s available information, was nothing more than a 50-50 bet, and stock pickers would do as well to use a dartboard as a broker’s recommendation.

Investment Rule #1 - Emotion Kills By : Joshua Niemeyer Whenever you buy a stock, you are hoping to make a profit on it. If that investment happens to go down, a little voice in the back of your head will say something like “this is just temporary, it will come back.” Sure it might go back up, but there's also a good chance it will go down further. And when that happens the voice says “Well, maybe I should sell it, but I'll just wait for an upswing to get some of my loss back.” And then the stock goes down again. And every time it goes down you will find it harder and harder to sell it off. Investment Strategies: Should You Become an Angel Investor?

Some investors would argue yes, while others would say no because the company has still damaged the environment even though it has taken the time to replace the trees with new ones.
