I guess nobody believes in holding long anymore. Everybody in the public eye is telling us we need to be a riverboat gambler. But if you were long some big names like WMT, AMAT, HD & CSCO for the last 5 years it has not been so bad:

Average return is 38% to 68%/year or 188% to 341% for the stretch. I wonder if the gamblers do as well?
