In this part . . .

Successful stock investing entails more than choosing a particular stock — how you go about doing it matters, too. Successful investors go beyond merely picking good stocks and watching the financial news. They implement techniques and strategies that help them either minimize losses or maximize gains (hopefully both). The chapters in this part introduce some of the most effective investing techniques (including brokerage orders and trade triggers) and describe some smart ways to hold onto more of your profits when tax time rolls around.
