Step 7 — Decide small, write it down, review

If everything lines up: start small (never all-in on one stock), write down why you bought ("growing 20% YoY, Kacholia entered, uptrend"), and review each quarter — if your written reason breaks, that's your sell signal. Beginners: try "paper trading" first — pick stocks, track them in the watchlist for 3 months without real money, and see how your picks do.
