What Really Matters in Investing
Motley Fool
I own a few of these stocks, myself!)
It’s true that a portfolio like the one above that was once worth $100,000 might now be worth less than $50,000, and that’s far from inconsequential. But here’s the thing: For most of us, today’s prices don’t matter so much, because we’re not planning to sell the stocks anytime soon. If you’re 50 years old, and you plan to retire at 65, you still have 15 more years of working, saving, and investing. Even at 65, you won’t be cashing in your entire portfolio, because you may well have another 30 years to live off of it, until age 95. If so, much of your current stock has at least 15 to 20 years left to grow for you, and some of it has 30 or more years. What really matters is your ultimate gain or loss. And to calculate that, all you really need is the price at which you bought, and the price at which you sold — two prices, from two days, out of hundreds or thousands of days.

Investing traps to avoid
Stockhouse, Canada
I didn’t learn how to pick stocks from a textbook, or a well-meaning but misinformed professor. No, I first got interested in stocks when my dad subscribed to the Cabot Market Letter back in the mid-1990s, and learned right away the value of doing the right things, and avoiding the wrong things. Yet most investors, even those with lots of experience, usually do the wrong things and avoid the right things. And the reason isn’t because they’re dumb and I’m smart–it’s because the market is a totally contrary animal, so it works the exact opposite of how any intelligent, reasonable person would expect.
