Consider these common sense tips when you buy stocks:

-shop around to compare the products and fees of various brokers, financial planners, investment houses and banks;

-ask questions and verify the level of risk involved;

-garner knowledge on your own through reading at the local library and checking out investment publications such as the Wall Street Journal and Money;

-clearly communicate your goals to your financial advisor or accountant and get professional advice;

-never buy stocks on impulse, in a rush, under pressure or from a telephone salesperson with no research or background check;

-if the rate of return sounds too good to be true, it probably is;

-invest in a variety of stocks and avoid putting all your eggs in one basket;

-don’t buy a financial product you don’t completely understand; and

-constantly re-evaluate your financial plan to meet with your current lifestyle and goals.
