Tips on picking stocks

May 22, 2012
I'm an individual self-taught investor who has just lost a LARGE sum of money investing in a company whose stock (of course) went immediately downhill after I bought it.

What tips could you give for people who lose large amounts of money but want to keep investing? Brian, Miami, FL
