[QUOTE="bravejason, post: 427821, member: 1069"] It's all long term for me. To me, "short term investing" is fancy way of saying "I'm trying to time the market." Which brings me to a another point. There is investing and then there is playing the market. Investing is putting money in something and letting that something generate value or income for you. Playing the market is taking advantage of short term stock price volatility (day trading being the ultimate example). Investing is concerned with the long term future of a company. Playing the market is concerned with the near term stock performance (up or down) and the company's long term future is irrelevant. You can make money either way, but recognize that the strategies appropriate for one are not necessarily appropriate for the other. [/QUOTE]
