Being a successful investor is NOT easy—it requires an incredible amount of self-discipline. Fortunately, while the self-discipline is hard, the basic tenants of successful investing are easy to understand.
Ten Keys to Investment Success

- Embrace Market Pricing

- Resist Chasing Past Performance
- Let Markets Work for You
- Consider the Drivers of Returns
- Practice Smart Diversification
- Avoid Market Timing
- Manage Your Emotions
- Look Beyond the Headlines
- Focus on What You Can Control
