Trends

“Remember that 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. Wait and watch.”

Jesse Livermore

It is one of the great paradoxes of the stock market that what seems too high usually goes higher and what seems too low usually goes lower.”

William O’Neil

Patience

Don’t take action with a trade until the market, itself, confirms your opinion. Being a little late in a trade is insurance that your opinion is correct. In other words, don’t be an impatient trader.”

Jesse Livermore

Maoxian
