The important learnings from the book are as appended below:
- Use a system and don’t deviate from it.
- Never buy a stock because it has had a big decline from its previous high.
- Detail your plan for each trade.
- Trade markets from the short side, as well as the long.
- Accept small losses as part of the game if you want to win BIG.
- If a stock doesn’t act right don’t touch it; because, being unable to tell precisely what is wrong, you cannot tell which way it is going. No diagnosis, no prognosis. No prognosis, no profit.
- Use money management at all times.
- Do not concentrate on break-even levels when you are losing.
- Don’t liquidate a winner to keep a loser.
- Don’t argue with the tape. Do not seek to lure the profit back. Quit while the quitting is good–and cheap.
- There is only one side to the stock market; and it is not the bull side or the bear side but the right side.
- Never add to a losing position. A losing position means you were wrong.
- And Most Importantly (and the hardest to learn):
- Stocks are never too high for you to begin buying or too low to begin selling. But after the initial transaction, don’t make a second unless the first shows you a profit
