Experience is the best teacher, and here are some rules I've learned and stocks I'm excited about.

Despite disappointing performance this year, the strategy has shown solid return in the past.

This fear and volatility, if it continues, will make tax-loss selling season even more interesting.

Thinking about this year's losers that may selloff further into year-end.
