How much of my portfolio should I invest in a stock? When should I sell? When should I add? It’s not working, is it time to double down?

These are really important questions that all of you should be asking yourselves before you click that mouse.

Anyway, I was able to ask a few financial bloggers to tell you, in their own words and experience, how they position and how they size their trades. These guys are very successful in their skill, and in my opinion, are very disciplined traders. I hope you enjoy the hard work these guys put into this topic. Think of this as your chance to get in the mind of a real trader and learn from our mistakes and successes on how to “position and size” your investments.

Each part will be released on a different post so you can direct your comments/questions to that particular topic. Do you have a successful way of positioning and sizing your trades? Leave a comment! We are all students of the game, and can learn from each other.
