Psychology of the Stock Market
G. C. Selden
  1. Keep the mind clear and well balanced so do not act hastily on sensational information; do not trade so heavily as to become anxious, do not be influenced by your position in the market
  2. Act on your own judgement, or entirely on that of another regardless of your own opinion
  3. When in doubt, stay out
  4. Endeavor to catch the trend of the sentiment
  5. The greatest fault of 99% of traders is to be bullish at high prices and bearish at low prices, therefore, refuse to follow the market beyond what you consider a reasonable climax.
