I also do long term investing. I have a number of different accounts, the trading account is relatively small by design —and profitable. I have no problem paying taxes.

No one consistently wins, trading or investing. It's prudent to set stops and practice good judgment, in both cases, rather than passively let a sum decay.

If you do some research on trading you may find some people do quite well at it. I agree, many, because of various factors, loose. But then there are plenty of long term investors who put together horrible portfolios, too.

Even INTC won't last forever. Ask yourself: What would it take for me to get out? How big of a decline am I willing to tolerate?

... do what makes you happy.
