What Financial Rules Matter Most?
About a decade ago, I added the category Rules to the site. I did this to have a handy way to keep track of the many terrific collections of investing & finance rules I kept finding (about 40 sets of rules can be found here). They came from fund managers and psychologists and strategists and economists and traders and philosophers. While these rule sets varied in scope and focus, they all had one thing in common: They were the collected wisdom of a lifetime of experience in the financial markets. Creating your own set of rules can be a useful exercise: I created rules of Investing, Valuation, Stock tips, even of Goldbuggery. Note these are dives into niches, and keeping a list to just 10 was easy. Post your best rules or ideas here; column to follow next week.
