Still In The Red

What a bull for the last 6 months! Unfortunately, I'm still in the red. Yes, still in the red. The losses in 2004 and 2005 was brutal to me. All because of the penny shares and warrants that I played. A summary of lessons learned in those years:
1. Do not accept 100% of analyst report, also do not accept 100% of others opinion (bloggers, discussion group etc)
2. There are no mother-of-all-tools in technical analysis, you need to combine the indicators
3. Be patient for gains (this also depends on the type of stock you buy, see also No. 8)
4. Run fast during losses (see also No. 8)
5. Plan your trade, trade your plan (be discipline)
6. Stalk a stock until all indicators are favorable (see also No. 2)
7. Look at the big picture (themes, general sentiment etc)
8. Trade stocks that suit your personality (slow and steady? fast and furious?)
9. Don't average down, average up instead
10. Always improve yourself

I'm still surviving, still learning the trickery of the stock market. My performance for 2006? Well it started with 57% loss and ended with 20% loss (or about 53% gain).
