Whichever strategy or type you will use, managing successful portfolios are a bit like cultivating 
gardens!
Although the fruits of one's labors do not appear immediately,it is essential to maintain discipline and vigilance while focusing on the eventual harvest.
Discipline and vigilance must always characterize your management style. Stick to a core strategy with a low-risk profile, reflecting a more disciplined, value-oriented and diversified approach.
When markets rise many investors feel comfortable just to be participating. But when markets start gyrating investors start taking more critical looks at their portfolios.
On several occasions, stock prices will experience substantial increases or severe declines.
Amidst these ups and downs, follow your strategy, and as a refuge, concentrate mostly on dividend paying stocks and attractively priced companies that are poised for positive change.
Sweating over your portfolio?
You can beat the indexes and funds!
There are three ways to win:
1. Rational Analysis
2. Crystal Ball and
3. Inside information!
But ...
You'd better leave the last two methods to fortune tellers and spies!
You should always focus on rational financial analysis with fundamental screening and charting.
