INVESTigate. Learn as much as you can about the stock before investing. The Bayan Market Watch segment on Mornings@ANC gives information on the listed company, analysts’ recommendations, and news that would affect its stock price movement.

"The stock market is fascinating. You can make the right decisions and yet lose money, or make the wrong decisions and make money," says Chief Executive Consultant of Bayan Communications, Tunde Fafunwa. "It’s those investors who really do their homework that succeed."

Don’t put your eggs in one basket. Its tempting to load up on one stock when prices are rising, but you are also at risk of having eggshells left when prices plummet. Diversify your portfolio and invest in different sectors and stocks to reduce risk.

Be an Investor, Not a Speculator. Speculating on stocks is risky. Always choose stocks of companies with sound fundamental performance and invest with a long term view. Over time, the market will recognize and properly value the company of your choice.

Buy Low, Sell High. Don’t let fear or greed take over your investment decisions. It’s simple. When stocks have fallen, it’s time to buy! When it has skyrocketed, it’s the time to sell!

Act like the owner. Stocks signify ownership. As a stockholder of the business, you should analyze financial statements regularly, deliberate competitive strengths, and predict future trends. Investors improve by getting to know more about their companies.
