    Trading? Just saying'. That what all the big funds do, and peeps like Goldman Sachs etc make more money from trading than holding.

    But the average punter just does what they can I guess?

    Just holding gives an impression of safety if you keep drinking the Kool Aid.

    If you look at the top 10 discussed stocks they are usually the popular holds that have gone bad.

    IMU, MAY, IVZ etc put your arm out as far as possible.

    Just food for thought cos most newbies start as stock pickers and if they get a winner they get hooked.

    Stocks like WA1 put stars in your eyes.

    And just to add. Try applying some basic maths to assessing how much profit you make from holding vs trading. Even SUM is a good example of that.
