Part I: Rules of the Game

• Portfolio Approach -  The opening section of The Playbook describes The Coach’s trading and investing philosophy, and how that philosophy is applied for a winning investment and trading game plan.
• Investing vs. Trading -    The Trade Coach describes the differences between short-term trading and longer-term investing and why it is important to distinguish between the two.
• Game Plan: Trading -  Important rules that all traders should use in evaluating any potential trade.  These are by no means exhaustive and all traders should develop their own rules based on their goals and trading personality.
• Game Plan: Investing -  Important rules that should be considered when evaluating longer-term investments.  As with our trading rules, these are by no means exhaustive and investors should develop their own criteria for entering and managing investments.
