The Single Word of Advice on Investing

If I could give just a single word of advice to someone about investing, I'd suggest the following: keep your teeth clean. Brush at least twice a day. Use the floss. Pour a little listerine down the gullet and slosh it around before spitting it out. It's one thing that is totally in your control. Unlike the market, which is unpredictable and frustrating.

Experts would add to this the concepts of sound asset allocation, periodic rebalancing, and dollar cost averaging, but right now I'm focused on preventing tooth decay.
