Holding an investment for a long time—often referred to as a "buy-and-hold" strategy—can outperform frequent trading for several reasons, depending on your goals, risk tolerance, and the nature of the assets involved. Here's a breakdown of why it might be better: Compounding Returns: When you hold an asset long-term, especially something like stocks or real estate, you benefit from compounding. Reinvested dividends, interest, or capital gains accumulate over time, growing exponentially rather than being interrupted by constant buying and selling. Lower Transaction Costs: Trading frequently racks up fees—commissions, spreads, and taxes (like capital gains tax on short-term trades, which are often taxed higher than long-term gains in many places). Holding reduces these costs, leaving more mo

However, when the growth rate slows down, fast-growth companies are in danger. Therefore, it is necessary to look for fast-growing companies with good

Kia ora Tiger traders, Knowledge is Power: Rock Your Stock Investing! 🎸📈 Ever wondered if it's better to know more or less in stock investing? Let's explore this with a thoughtful and data-driven approach! 🎉✨ Patterns: The Market's Greatest Hits Over my long trading journey (having worked for financial institutions and stockbrokers) I've discovered that stock patterns are like classic songs—they often repeat and bring sweet profits to your ears👂👂! Patterns repeat again and again historically. Sometimes stocks become trapped or caught in a doom loop, however, they eventually break out. Small cap companies who have under performed will do well from November into January! In most cases, it is best not to buy a stock going into earnings. Recognising these patterns gives us a serious edge!! Th

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ To me with some things like decorating your home or wearing clothes less is often more. There's another old saying that goes "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" and I think that's really applicable to stock investing. Knowing nothing is often better than knowing something. As an emotional investor, I would argue that investing intelligently requires knowing enough that you know what you don't know. To know everything you don't know requires that you know a lot. In my early 20s for example i decided I needed to figure out women, this task I believed would be complex so I gave myself a year. Now I'm in my early 50s and I know a lot. But I still am not at the point where I know what I don't know. I do know one crucial thin

To be successful in stock investing, it is essential to understand the basics such as identifying undervalued companies. This foundational knowledge can help us make informed decisions and avoid common pitfalls. However, having an in-depth knowledge of stock investing isn't always necessary to achieve success. Many investors find that a basic understanding is sufficient, especially since the stock market can be influenced by a variety of unpredictable factors. For example, many analysts provide price targets for stocks but these targets are often inaccurate due to the volatile nature of the market. This unpredictability can make it difficult to rely solely on expert analyses or forecasts. Regardless of whether we are a beginner or an experienced trader, what truly matters more are timing a

Beginners tend to have better luck as they are more worried. They tend to follow rules closely and somehow tend to be luckier. The issues come when people start to think that the results that they have gained is due to their capability instead of attributing it to luck. That’s when they take on more risk and get greedy. That’s usually when the markets will give them a wake up call and let them Smell the roses. Many will quit then, especially those who over leveraged and went all in. Those that maintain tend to wake up and have second awakening and start to be more humble and learn more. Results will improve until they get overconfident again and markets will reach them a lesson yet again. That’s y it’s always impt to be humble and respect the markets and follow the rules to prevent collaps

Most people lose in trading or stock investment because they speculate, thinking market always give fast and enormous profit. Most initial trade is always winning but sadly ends up losing. The main 🔑 reason is education. Education here is watching some YouTube on someone who has done a trade. Going in is always easy. How to exit is wisdom. Without proper education. Many will sell or buy at the wrong time, losing money as a result. Warren Buffet and many other great investors attended Columbia Business School of Columbia University. If you don't invest in education, you would not buy TSLA, AMZN, NVDA when they are at their infant stage. Valuation is an important skill in investing. When to cut losses and spot price action manipulation using technical analysis for trading is also essential

Thank you  @Tiger_comments for the previous event and this too. I believe in having the knowledge and skills in trading/ investment, if one intend to strive for their financial path. Just like our education from primary to secondary school 🏫 The essential  academic then to skills set (diploma/higher nitec) then further to advance level (Master of the skills/knowledge). Or the expertise level (pHD). Before doing this, we have to invest in our Learning (skill and knowledge) and then Earn the profits 📈 .  Thanks to my mentors teaching me the skills and disadvantages.

When it comes to investing in stocks, knowledge is generally more advantageous as informed investors can analyse market trends, evaluate company performance, and make data-driven decisions. This reduces the risk of poor investment choices and enhances the potential for long-term gains. However i can't dismiss  "Beginner's luck" where one might initially see "one-time" winners though got to remember its just for one- time!

When investing in stocks, it's important to strike a balance between knowing enough to make informed decisions and avoiding excessive knowledge that can lead to analysis paralysis. Knowing too much can lead to overanalysis, indecision, and missed opportunities. Focus on key factors, set clear goals, and maintain a long-term perspective to make wise investment decisions.

Luck plays a significant role in short-term trading, influencing market volatility, trade timing, and avoiding losses. However, its impact diminishes over the long term as probability, skill, and risk management take over. Focus on developing a solid strategy, managing risk, and continuous improvement to achieve success in trading.

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$  Every 5-7 years the market will crash. Don't try to predict when & don't sit around waiting for it. There will always be something to be worried about. Dance while the music is playing & manage risk along the way. This is the only way to participate in raging bull markets.

I wish I know Tiger Brokers platform early so I can know more since it always share a lot of investment information, I consider I'm a impulsive trader but year after years, I tend to be more conservative now

I believe knowing adequate information about the company, market sentiment n dynamics, stock trending are required among others. More will lead indecisive and less will make uncomfortable. Good fortune assured by turn of your stars! Keep investing wisely!

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$  Don't let market movements decide if you're a genius or a loser. Bezos said it best: When a stock goes up 30% in a month, don't feel 30% smarter. Because when it drops 30% in a month, it's not going to feel great to feel 30% dumber.
