2. Do a thorough research: To gain success in whatever you do it is mandatory that you do a thorough research before beginning it. One best thing to do is take advice from various sources as much as you can. Begin with investing in some companies whose products and strategies attract you. In order to know which all investments are worth for you, there are huge numbers of sites available in the internet. These websites will help you analyse and understand all the available investments. It is advisable not to choose an investment on the basis of its past performance as there is no guarantee of future.

3. Grab the good ones and leave the bad: If you have already done your investments, then try to monitor your investments by comparing their performances against the market index.  If some of your holdings do well then there will be more inflow of cash and profit too.  Once you are into this game of investments then you will be eager to grow more by investing on investments that grow over the long term, so when you find winners, cherish and keep a hold on them.  Also always try to ignore or ditch the investments that don’t perform above the mark in the market.  It is good to hold onto a low performing investment but it is generally a poor strategy and it is safer to take a small early loss rather than a large one later on.  Do not cling onto stocks for emotional reasons.
