According to Market Screener - 10 Commandments of Investing, when we investors approach markets, we are advised that the 1st commandment is this:

Behave like an entrepreneur...

The Stock Exchange is a place where shares - which are pieces of companies

&ndash are traded. Buying a share means becoming a business owner: an investor

should never forget this. Would you place a bet on something that you don&rsquo t

believe in? Of course not!

It&rsquo s always best to give priority to fundamental analysis over technical

analysis. An investor should find out more about the company he plans to

invest in, such as results, outlook, analysts&rsquo opinions, and the management&rsquo s

speech. Let&rsquo s not make the mistake of jumping in based on 5-minute charts

and moving averages! Mixing horizons and motivations leads to bad choices:

one cannot invest and speculate at the same time. Why take the example of

the entrepreneur? Because he commits in the long term and believes in his

project.

On the stock market, you have to adopt the same behavior and keep a long

view: it is generally advisable to reason over a period of time of at least 5 years.

But this is a minimum. Ask yourself: what will the company look like in the

future? It might be surprising, but the long term is easier to predict than the

short term.

Implications:
1) No contra
2) Be prepared to be a stuckist for at least 5 years.
3) Invest long term
