Tell this person to buy stocks that are going up.

Sounds simple but there are ones out there that are doing that. All you do
is look for higher highs and higher lows. If they are doing the opposite,
don't buy them or get rid of them if you own them. Use a set stop loss point
7-10% on all positions?

Examples, have them look at a weekly chart of GLW, LVLT or YHOO. Now have
them look at TCB and UNH all starting from 2000. A few pictures are worth a
thousand words. Bottom line he/she can do their own technical analysis?

Also have them read "Zen in the Markets" by Ed Toppel he can get it at
www.traderspress.com about $20 or less 100 pages, big print (about an
airplne flight from Minneapolis to S.F to read). They will understand after
reading it, that if he/she does not understand their ego, it will lead them
to do the exact opposite of what they should be doing. I highly recommend it
and don't just read it, practice it.

It changed the way I invest and that change has been a significantly
positive one. "To find oneself, you must lose your self first"
