- If you get the conviction to invest Rs.1 lakh in a stock, then only invest in that stock, else forget that stock. Do not invest just for the sake of investing or to try your luck.

- Never ever regret selling a stock too early and never ever chase a stock. If you have a better options, then invest in other ideas where you have conviction.
If you buy a farm, you'd say “I'm buying this because I expect it to produce 120 bushels per acre, etc…from your calculations, not based on what you saw on television that day or what a neighbor said. It should be the same thing with stock. Take a yellow pad, and say I'm going to buy GM for $18 billion, and here's why. And if you cant write a good essay on the subject, you have no business buying one share.
