-Understand why you are doing what you are doing.
-Understand how long the investment needs to work for you

-Learn the difference between short term events and long term relationships between different types of investment
-Set a policy for your investments
-Keep your investments and your focus long term
-Employ a coach/mentor
-Buy low - and - sell high

Each principle carries its own set of bullet points and explanations, with a big emphasis on understanding the risks of investing.
