Buying shares
Before buying shares of a company, you should do your research such as looking at the company's financial status, revenue, dividends, its sector and then decide the minimum and maximum amout of shares you are willing to own. Find a good entry point, buy it on weakness, enter with your minimum amount, if the stock rises at least you own some, or you can buy a bit more as it falls further, in other words do a cost averaging.

"It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price."

"Price is what you pay, value is what you get."

"We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful."

Warren Buffett
