In last one year or so, how many times have you heard and read that “Buy and hold investing is dead”. I bet it is numerous times. I am willing to bet even more on the fact that almost 95% of 30 year old or below will make you believe buy and hold is dead and it does not work. And the examples cited are turmoil in 2008. In addition, the business media and brokerage houses will add fuel to this fire. Well, if they do not encourage you to trade, how will they survive? how will they get their commissions?
To me all these 95% of folks are “creating their own missed opportunity”. Twenty years down the line when these same folks look back on “today”, they will realize they missed an opportunity. They missed this opportunity because of their quest to make that quick buck in trade, the lack of real knowledge, lack of awareness, and lack of foresight, and not able to think what is important in investing.
