Sometimes This Sucks
Original article by Michael Batnick Simply put, trading is hard. Highs, lows, swings and roundabouts – to expect the unexpected is perhaps the best mind set to have. In this article, Michael Batnick dives into how hard trading is, with a specific spotlight on ‘buying and holding’. While deemed easy, there are periods of time when patience doesn’t pay off. This is a great read for anyone who is involved in, or thinking about getting involved in the stock market. See here for an excerpt: “Buy and hold isn’t a perfect strategy. If you convinced somebody in the fall of 2007 that this was the right way to invest, they’d have a bone to pick with you, as they’d watch U.S. stocks crash by nearly 60% over the following sixteen months. But if this person were able to hold on, even if they bought on the day that the market topped, they would have received 7.48% per year over the next 10.5 years. Not so terrible. The most recent decade actually worked out okay for investors, even if it wasn’t easy. It doesn’t always work out”. The full and original article can be found here.
