And surprisingly we created no rift to any parallel dimensions, and the universe didn't collapse on itself or any other minor crises like I was expecting.

You didn't see what happened in London that day, did you? Something about Eddie's wash in the space-time continuum, and a Chesterfield sofa or something like that. Very strange.

Buy low and sell high, unless you have a lot of money and a good contrarian snese, in which case you can sell high and buy low.
Avoid the bandwagon. Invest for the long term.
Set your parameters, and stick to them.
Get out when the getting's good, don't get attached to your stocks.
What goes up must come down, but what goes down doesn't have to come up.
If someone's showing outrageous returns, ask "Why?" Be skeptical.
Pawn shops, alcohol, and funeral homes will almost always make money. People are always going broke, wanting to get drunk, and dying. Garbage and prisons are pretty good, too. What the pawn shop won't take, teh garbage man will, and sometimes people get too drunk.
Fundamentals are more important than technicals. Don't try to time the market.
Diversify, but do it intelligently, not just for the sake of diversification. A lot of stuff is a lot more corellated than you think.
Learn to read a financial statement.
Don't take anyone's free advice.

Good advice.
How many times have you read it and do you still consider it valid? How about Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits?
Any other good fundamental literature I should be seeking out that's worth the price of admission?

Actually, haven't read either, or any other "investing" handbooks. My philosophy comes from my finance training and experience watching the markets.
However, you should read the memos from Howard Marks at Oaktree Capital Management. They come out monthly, and are fantastic. You'll have to dig around for them, since they're not posted on their website.

Congrats, ctenidae. Great to have another Boston-based skier who's into financial analysis.
