I don't know about that, everyday I look at my initial portfolio watch list (which is a duplicate of my original portfolio of holdings when I shifted from bossing people around all day to trading full time on my own) - to keep me miserable, and there are a few shares there that if I had just held 'em and never traded would have made me several million dollars in the volumes I held them. So if I'd just left all my money in that original portfolio and spent the next 8 years or so sitting on a beach drinking cocktails, I'd be millions richer right now than I am, and I wouldn't be defensive trading GXY while it plunged for the last 18 months. I wouldn't have to hold my breath every morning for 6 minutes and then another 30 minutes while APT opened and stretched its legs and spend my days with my eyes glued to monitors watching a sea of numbers swim past looking for patterns. No. I don't call it lucky, I do call it fun, but then so is a beach, a cocktail and my beautiful wife. We all make choices. At least I am free, and the wife is still beautiful. And GXY is starting to look pretty hot too.

So what’s it going to be for the next ten years? But TBH whether you trade or not, following a portfolio is not a function of long or short is in the DNA (although it may be directly proportional to great hair)
