Hey Tina, I hadn't seen your board before. I'm a Peter Lynch fan and liked the Ibox Posting of his 25 Golden Rules. I have a similar post from Bill Matthew of the Cheap Investor newsletter. There is some overlap...but some pretty good points as well:

Bill Matthews Cheap Investor Philosophy
1. An educated investor is a successful investor.
2. Invest in a company, not a market.
3. Don’t be a jack of all trades and master of none: specialize.
4. Don’t fall victim to the greed-fear trap.
5. Avoid high priced stocks.
6. Controlling larger amounts of shares will translate into higher profits.
7. Always look at the profits and losses in percentages, not in dollars and cents.
8. Buying a stock near its low is key to your profit.
9. Patience can pay off profitably.
10. Buy your stock when no one wants it, sell it when everyone wants to buy.
11. Never sell a stock in December in order to take a tax loss.
12. Don’t take anyone’s word for it. Investigate before you invest.
13. Follow your stock price so you don’t miss major profit opportunities.
An educated investor is a successful investor.
