This doesn't have to be either or. There's nothing stopping someone from having a core "buy and hold" portfolio; in addition to taking a portion of one's funds and trading the more volatile issues. What percentage you put at higher risk depends upon a lot of factors. What works for me may not be appropriate for any one else. Anyone taking a higher risk approach than buying the very best quality companies and holding them should consider what other sources of income they have should things go awry; what the demands are for expenditures / timing of those expenses; and what their own tolerance of risk may be. e.g. - A retired Vancouver lawyer committed suicide after the BRE-X fiasco. Whatever you decide, best wishes, Ian.
