   It is very important to have an investment strategy. It is the most important thing for “proletarian investors” like us.

   Actually stock picking is mainly a game that we do on this blog. We can only try to pick the best stock. We don’t get the information that professionals can have. We can’t be little Warren Buffets because we don’t have the skill and the team he has. So we need an investment strategy. And the best investment strategy is exactly that:
   Invest the same amount every month on stocks.
   Doing so allows us to buy more stocks when the market goes down and they are cheaper and obtain good gains in the long run, no matter how markets behave.
   I will try to explain with an example:
   Let’s suppose we are spending $1000 buying stock A at $25 each. We will get 40 stocks A.
   After a month stock goes down to $20. We buy another $1000 of it and we get 50 of them.
   One month later our stock tumbles and it goes to $10. With our monthly $1000 we buy 100 stocks A.
   One month later the stock goes back to $20. At that time we have 190 stocks A worth at the time $3800 and we have spent a total of $3000.
   Well the nice thing is that even though our stock has gone down 20% (from $25 to $20) we have gained $800. This is possible because we have bought most of our stocks (100) around the minimum. And we have done it automatically, because with the same amount of money you buy more stocks if you buy around the minimum

   This is why it is very important to buy the same amount every month, no matter what the market does.

   And well I have found the next stock to invest on and will write a blog about it now!

   thanks for taking time to explain your strategy. am also thinking of buying a share of stock in a new company and am part of the marketing group of that company. the initial share is 1200 in eurodollars. it is not much but i guess, it will have a good pay off later.
