Simple Rules of Intelligent Investing
1) Don't depend on recent or current figures to forecast future prices; remember that many others knew them before you did.
2) Prices are continuously molded by fears, hopes and unreliable estimates; capital is always at risk unless you Buy Better than average values.
3) Remember that many complex factors - such as accounting choices and the human problems with management and larger shareholders - lie behind reported earnings.
4) Disregard the competition at your peril - they are always attacking your company's trade position and its earning.
5) Don't Trust Quarterly Earnings.
VERIFY Reports through source and application statement.
===> Figure can LIE and LIARS can figure.

As you become more mature as an investor, you will start to appreciate why I insist on a Ridiculous Margin of Safety whenever I start investing in a company.
Very simply, investing in stocks and shares is a High Risk venture.
(1) There is risk that the company will lose money in its business.
(2) There is risk of a worldwide stock market collapse.
(3) Worse, there is risk that the management is less than honest and rather take care of themselves first before their shareholders.
