  2. Setting price limits: When you want to buy or sell a stock/ security at a specified price, you need to place a limit order rather than the prevalent market order. This allows you to avoid buying or selling or stocks at a price higher or lower than the one you want.

  5. Choosing the right shares: Make sure you do not buy a share which shows a declining trend assuming that it will show improvement in the future.
  6. Choosing the right agent: A stock broker is a person who is specifically assigned the job of reading the market behaviour, understanding the stocks pattern. Therefore it is advisable to select the right broker for a better management of your stocks. It is also advisable to pick a discount broker rather than a full service broker.
  7. Setting exit points: While dealing with stocks, you can make profits only when you sell your stocks at the right time. Therefore it is crucial for you to decide on the right exit points to achieve the desired profits.
