Two free stock tips to avoid losing your money in the stock market today

Stock market is one place where you can easily get swayed by the highs and the lows of the day. Sitting in the office you can hear people say that they have someone who became a millionaire overnight with one investment. All this is sure very good to listen and when it comes to implementation this is nothing but all full of empty talk.

I am going to give you two free stock tips which will help you make money and also a third tip which is essential to make these two tips work.

Tip #1 – Never Time the Stock Market

Essentially do not think that you will know when the next downturn will be and you can sell just when the stock is turning bearish. This will never happen. It may happen once but not every time. Same goes for folks who think that they will be able to enter the market right at the time when the stock market is beginning to start its bullish phase. This will never happen and you will be buying stocks at the wrong time.

Do not fool yourself. Even the best of the experts have never been able to time the market. Otherwise each one of us would have been a millionaire. This is where my tip#2 comes in.

Tip#2 – Buy for the long term

Always buy for the long term. That way you keep ahead of the tip#1. Since you are buying for the long term you will never be interested in the market movement that is there for stock market today or tomorrow. What that means is that you will be investing irrespective of the price as you are buying the stock for the long term. Long term means a minimum investment period of five to ten years.

The reason being that you will be able to ride over the short term bear phase easily without any worry.

This will also allow you to concentrate on the stock research which is the key to long term stock licing.

Additional Tip (Tip#3): Solid research. Invest your time in doing some solid research. Understand the economy and do some good fundamental analysis of the stock.

Note: Avoid all those pump and dump style penny stock tips that come in the penny stock newsletters. They are there to make money from you and nothing else.
