Getting an Investing Game Plan : Creating It,

Over the years, countless investors have lost far more than they should have during a variety of market downturns. Events such as the bursting of the tech bubble and the wave of corporate scandals have led to investor woes, but it's the absence of an investing game plan that has made things even worse. This lack of personal financial guidance leaves many investors scrambling to figure out what they should do after the fact, instead of planning ahead of time.
