Hi IPunter, Read carefully what I wrote in my earlier post "I never meant holding on to a stock in a downtrend"

I totally agree with what you said, because that is the truth... Only if one has bought at a low price (eg. at or near floor level), will one has nothing to lose by holding and holding on. But if one has bought when the market is hot, one will invariably suffer the consequences of the trends if one holds for long enough... |

Buy-and-hold is one good way to allow compounding to work for the investor for the long term without incurring transaction costs through excessive trading. However, the catch is what stocks to hold and at what price to hold? If the investor has invested in a company that does not have predictable consistent long term economics in its business, it is not worth holding the stocks of such company long term. Also, if the investor has bought any stock at too steep valuation higher than their intrinsic worth such that no matter given how long, the company cannot increase its intrinsic worth in its business to match the stock price an investor paid for its stocks, then it does not make sense to hold such stocks for long term even if the company is a good one. The problem is that the investor has already paid a really too steep a price for the stocks, so not worth holding the stocks for long term already. <Buy-and-hold really works long term to provide time for compounding effect to build up an investor's capital. However, an investor should only hold stocks of only good companies bought at only low prices lower than their intrinsic worth.> <If violating the above two conditions, then an investor may not want to consider holding any stocks since there is no longer valid reasons for doing so since the odds are against him if violating these two conditions.> |

I hope you have not missed my point... My point is this:- Holding stocks for 'long-term' is the most dangerous (ie. extremely risky) thing to do...

Without being intrusive, may I suggest you also held on to your holdings from the market peak in 2007 without selling? There's no need to for an answer...

Pretty obvious from March low till now it has been on a uptrend. I never meant holding on to a stock in a downtrend

Throwing at the wrong timing islike throwing away good money. Punting in and out is certainly good for your brokers and broking firms. Understanding the stock and its fundamentals, and armed with holding power is one sure way of raking in good profit. ESTA is one such share you can count on.

It is better to throw first when you have the guts that the counter is lifeless. Lose a bit is better because with the capital almost intact, you can go for some quick gains to cover the small losses. In fact, I found this way better through experience. Holding on to "wooden head" shares tend to cause you to lose 3 things, your patience, your money in terms of interests, and your opportunity for making use of the cash to make money. Am sure iPunter will tell you more things you might lose holding to these non-action shares. | ||||

If I buy and sell within months (or even a year), I am also a trader... And there's a difference between protecting one's capital and frequent trading... They are not the same thing... and holding in a downtrend is not investing... hehehe...

Holding does not always mean you are going to lose. In fact I just told a friend he is not going to make less profit by trading too much. There is nothing wrong buying and selling but there is a balance how to do it

Very good action... Although many say getting in and out is bad, it is in fact an insurance against unforseen big falls... Holding is very dangerous (very risky) in uncertain markets... rather, in all markets, because there's no certainty...
