That the unknowable future changes life doesn't detract from having an idea of how long you will be holding a stock before you buy it.

Of course it does.

I think we all should own the best investments that we can at any given time. Time changes, and our idea of what is the "best" investment today changes all the time.

I can understand how you can decide to hold a stock through a specific event, which you think will happen, and which you think is not priced in to the stock, so that may give a timeframe for holding a stock (until the event transpires). Other than that, it doesn't make a lot of sense to have a time period for holding something, because we know that unknown future events will change story, so ..... why have a time period in the first place, when you know it's likely unkonwn things will happen to make the originally determined time period meaningless.

I'm right, and I will not discuss it any more!! :-)

Corn for lunch......
