The 'strategy' of playing a single stock for both long-term as well as short-term play is already being practised by many players who do partial liquidation of their total holdings in a stock. However it does not make sense to be long and short a stock at the same time, other than for the purpose of locking one's position...  |

Hi Everyone, Let’s assume that I enter a trade because I have found a good company. When I say a good company I mean a fundamentally strong company trading at a reasonable price. Let’s also assume that I decide to hold the stock for the long term to allow time for the stock to perform. My question is what is to stop me from using a shorter term strategy on the same stock? The good thing about the stock market is I can use two different strategies on the same stock. I can use a long term “buy and hold” strategy and a shorter term “trade in and out” strategy on the exact same stock. That’s what I like about the stock market. It gives me a lot of flexibility. All the best, www.mistermomentum.blogspot.com |

Definition of a long term investor: Day trader who's position went against them, and they didn't want to take a loss. The depressing reality of the whole idea of the 'long term investor' is that it is a myth pedaled by the fund management companies who want you to remain invested in their rip-off fee-machine unit trusts. It is based on a very selective data set from 1982-2000 when stock markets went up and up and up, and long term investors made great 12-15% returns per annum if they held their nerve and remained invested through the whole period. However, stock market history teaches us that 1982-2000 was a unique period when inflation was being tamed, and the world was in great shape. There are many long periods like 1929-50 and 1966-1982 when the stock market went nowhere. We are in just such a cycle. Markets are below where they were in 2000, and that is 11 years ago now. As Europe enters a Japan style period of no-growth due to debt and aging population, and China slows down, we're not going to see a sustained bull market. Rather, markets will move in waves, and investors need to be nimble to ride the up waves, while remaining well out during the down waves. Don't fall for the fund management companies' 'you must always be invested'. The rest of the sentence reads 'you must always be invested or we won't be able to take fees from you'. |

Hi rivera,
Many people ask the question…
Is it better to be a long term investor or short term trader?
My question to them is…
Why do I have to choose?
I personally like to use a number of different trading strategies. Some are short term and some are long term.
To me it's about having a trading plan, testing the plan, and then managing my risk.
All the best, www.mistermomentum.blogspot.com |

i asked u to trade with 20% of ur cash.. *trade meaning u must have a plan, take profit + cut loss keep the 80% and wait for cheap stocks to invest (cheap stocks meaning 60-80% discount of the recent highest price) i didnt ask u to avg down.. not in this market now

hey rivera... just an advice from a newbie me... try not to do averaging down. it'll cause you more mental stress when your position is enlarged and it doesn't climb from there.... since you'll likely average more lots than the original position.... practise cut loss instead... and.. you might want to practise average up instead.. average up with smaller lots... when you're in profit position, you'll just earn less if it dips from there... also, just something that i think....... when the market falls, it usually falls alot faster than it climbs... my 2 newbie cents... |
