First step is to take a position Once you have this then look to your charts to verify that this is a correct choice verification can be through Technical analysis or adopting a fundamental approach but verify your position then ignore all the noise and seek a guru who has got the market 90% correct over a period of time Personally I am a big Clive Roffey fan go to summit.co.za and on the left side are his videos look at his one for the 08 Jan 2008 He says this year reverse all the 2006 & 2007 market gains and go GOLD GOLD GOLd this can be done either via warrants, ssf, instalmenst or the actual share but take a position you cannot be eveywhere Warren Buffet said people who diversify, dont know what they doing so take a path then follow it if you want my two cents worth follow the advice as per the video and go for gold
