Always do your homework.
The more you know, the better off you are! This requires that you keep learning, and pay attention to events that might affect you.
Understand personal finance matters that could affect you. Understand how each of your investments fits in with the rest of your portfolio and with your overall strategy. Understand the risks associated with each investment.
Gather unbiased, objective information. Get a second opinion, a third opinion, etc. Be cautious when evaluating the advice of anyone with a vested interest.
If you're going to invest in stocks, learn as much as you can about the companies you're considering.
Understand before you invest!
Research, research, research!
Read Books!
Educate Yourself!
Experiment with various strategies before you put your own money on the line.

Learn from your own mistakes ...
