Most people only realize, in that moment when they're carrying a single cardboard box filled with personal belongings and walking out the door after yet another resignation, that fame, sentiment, sense of achievement, and countless other things are all fleeting.

To keep adding to your position, you need capital. So don't dump all the money you intend to invest in stocks at once. If the market dips—or even crashes—you want cash on hand to keep buying. Conservative investors should hold at least a third of their stock and stock fund capital as cash reserves. Even aggressive investors should keep at least 25% as a safety net.
