Chuck's top advice for DIY investors...

Focus on fundamentals and don't trust stock prices.
Concentrate your portfolio (20-25 stocks) so you can actually have time to to research and follow them properly. At the same time, make sure to stay diversified enough to protect your money.
Don't get caught up in hype, don't chase prices. Do yourself a favor and look at companies without the stock price in mind.
