As some of you may know, my first passion is writing, but my second passion is investing. I have an economics degree and have been interesting in all sorts of investments since I was quite young. Now at 30 years of age, some people tell me I have an Investing sense. Not because I always invest in the best, or can predict fluctuations better then most experts, but simply because I have a sense for when things will turn around.
I have dabbled in Stocks, real estate, bonds, mutual funds, domain names, metal bullion, etc. I have always seem to have an Investing sense when it comes time to sell and leave a particular market. What is this sense? What’s my secret? It’s simply. I stray from the herd when I decide to exit an investment. If everyone seems to be blinded with optimism, and investing if a particular area, whether it’s domain names, a stock, etc, then run the other way. Sell, as fast as you can.
This won’t always work, you gotta put your own sense to work, and determine if the optimism is even slightly warranted. Unless the optimism is completely warranted, get out. Thats my #1 rule.
