Buying and holding onto a promising stock for 3-5 years definitely has been more profitable but definitely takes more CAJONES. Any little coward can dart in and out, which is what I usually do. Think of all the commission savings. And think of the savings in LT capital gains vs. ST. capital gains. Paul Allen sold his AOL stake for $80+ million in 1994. If he had held onto until this year it would have been worth $4+ billion. But he didn't have the cajones.
