The best way for you to choose your investment vehicles is to first plan out how much money you want to invest, how much you can afford to lose, how much you want to sleep, and how long you want to invest for. How do you answer all these questions? By considering the following tips.

2. Do Your Homework
Obtain and analyze as much information as possible before making your investment decisions. This will alert you of any problems a company may have, or what to expect from your investment.

3. Set Goals & Limits
Determine the price (high target price or low stop-loss price) at which you're willing to sell. Analyze interest rates to decide what return you want.

4. Don't Gamble With Money You Can't Afford To Lose
The less you can afford a loss, the more conservative you should be in your choice of investments.

5. Don't Be Greedy
Don't expect your broker to recommend stocks that will double in value within a few months. If you do have a stock that goes up considerably -- i.e. 50% or more -- sell.

6. Invest For The Long-Term
Company stock prices will fluctuate, sometimes unfavourably, in the short-term. Invest for the long-term, but keep your current financial needs in mind. You never know when you might need some of that money.

7. Avoid Acting On Impulse
An impulse buy, whether at the mall or on the stock market, is still an impulse buy. Stick to your plan. Don't buy a stock on a hot rumor; you'll get burned 90% of the time.

8. Go For Value
Undervalued stocks will help create the most growth in your portfolio. Look for bonds of companies that are out of favor too. They should be selling at a deep discount.

9. Tax Planning Is Important
Consider income-splitting techniques. (Ask your investment advisor).
