The stock market reacted pretty much as I expected. To add to it next week I expect it slowing down more. This week I also realized how much I deviate from my rules when selecting stocks to buy. I had to write them down and be more careful when selecting stock for purchase.
I also learned another lesson. It is about my money management plan, which allows me to buy new shares even though some of the existing holdings are still losing small money. I might consider waiting for all positions to turn into positive numbers prior purchasing new positions.
