Jas,

Absolutely agree that for those who aren't willing to do the research, buy and hold is better and, in fact, it may be better than any type of trading. Motley Fool makes a pretty good case for buy and hold.

The issue that plays into trading is that if you treat it as a business and can consistently make a profit, it can be used as income. Buy and hold doesn't allow for that. Many traders here would say they trade for income, but that they invest for the future. Nothing wrong with a little of both.

FWIW,

Dave
