Thanks for posting this. I'm interested in trading, but see a lot of people recommend just holding a position instead of trying to play the ups and downs of the market.
I can see the peace of mind that comes with buying something you believe in and holding it for a while, especially if it happens to steadily go up.
However, I see a lot of opportunity to increase the value of holdings by trading. I'll be doing more research on trading.
Right now, I'm just holding what I have in one crypto-currency while I research what four or five others to diversify into.
If you ever have any questions, please feel free to reach out. I actually do all three standard types of trading (day trading, swing trading, and long-term investing). I'll do a post soon distinguishing the three of those and maybe I'll throw in certain things to look for in each if that would interest people.
At the end of the day though all of investing comes down to the basic principle of buying low and selling high.
Thanks, I appreciate your reply. I'll be actively reading your posts. I also just commented on one of your posts from about two weeks ago.
