* Trade what you see, not what you think
* Focus on movement of prices above everything else; your trades get settled on the basis of prices and nothing else
* Everything else is secondary: news, views, indicators, volumes etc
* Trade management is more important than entry into a trade
* Cut your losses; let profits run
* Stop losses should be predetermined and strictly followed
* NEVER average a loser
* NEVER meet a margin call
* Increase your position in a trending market
* Reduce the position size in a volatile market and/or when you are on a losing streak
* Preserve your capital
* Aim at attaining consistent profitability
* Grab any super normal profits you get

Protect your downside in 2008. 2008 looks to be like a year of consolidation. ************************************************************************************************************************** P.N.Vijay 1. Look at overall economy for indication of sustainable growth 2. Look at interest rates very closely as they are negatively correlated to equities. i.e, when interest rates go down, equities go up 3. Fundamentals take time to develop 4. Don't leverage yourself Mid cap investing has the best risk/reward in today's market. Mid caps bets can be of various types:

* Plain Vanilla : Very fast paced growth in a good sector and will soon turn big enough to attract institution attention. e.g. Punj Lloyd, GMR infra, JP Associates
* Mergers and De mergers: Companies create value by merging and demerging. e.g TV18, KEC
* Overseas Acquisition: Often leads to rapid increase in size and mcap/sales
