Beginner Stock Tips: Conclusion

Content: Try and Ignore the News
Every day, commentators will try to spin stories about stocks just so that they have something to talk about on their TV show or website. I try to stay away from that sort of talk on this blog. Generally, day to day news has little influence on the overall prospects of the company, particularly negative news. Negative news tends to get a lot of press coverage though since people cannot help but read it. As an example of this, consider the recent announcement that there were delays in the Apple and China Mobile deal. While many news reports were objective, there were still some talking heads that suggested that this delay meant that Apple was suddenly a definitive sell. In reality, while the deal would have been nice for Apple, even without the deal, Apple is still very profitable and hitting record sales with their latest product refresh. Try to ignore these negative stories to the best of your ability and instead focus on the long haul. If you read every single negative news story about your stock, you might end up “panic selling” and lose out on a lot of money. 8.
