Only 3 Types of Investor Make Money: Which One Are You?

There are generally three types of players who consistently make money in the U.S. stock market — regardless of market conditions, as long as they stay invested for ten years: 1. The "Never Sell" Type 2. The Swing Trader 3. The "Buy More on Dips" Type Which type are you? Welcome to share if you belong to other types!

I can said I'm 1st and 3rd type. Like to keep and invest my favorite stock and keep invest them for 10year. When they dip I will DCA. Most of them give favorable dividend yield. Like the example $ST Engineering(S63.SI)$ @Tiger_SG @TigerEvents @TigerStars @MillionaireTiger @TigerClub @koolgal @SR050321 @SPOT_ON

I think i am a combination of the 3, depending on which market I am investing in. Generally, my porfolio is for the longer term. I top up on a regular basis to dollar cost average. When there are major dips, I add on more to take advantage of the dip or may even enter new positions. However, my experience with the HK market changed that for me. I realised that it is too volatile and irrational where good stocks can be really cheap. So, I started to swing trade a bit recently for the HK market. I still keep a good portion for a long term investment but I swing trade a portion to lock in profits and buy the dips in preparation to sell it off at a later time to lock in the profits. For the US and my SREITS, I buy th dips as I believe in the long term returns and hardly sell.

I have been following Tesla stock closely, especially after the recent jump to $250 following the DOGE news. The 5% surge after the first-quarter results, despite missing analysts estimates, caught my attention. I think this price movement might signal a potential bottoming out, but I am not entirely convinced yet. There are still several factors to consider before I can confidently say the worst is over for Tesla. Elon Musk announcement about reducing his involvement with DOGE starting in May is a significant development in my view. Musk has a history of influencing market sentiment with his actions and statements, so this shift could redirect his focus toward Tesla. I believe this might be a positive move for the company, as his leadership has often driven innovation and investor confide

After reflecting on the three types of investors who consistently make money in the U.S. stock market, I believe I align most closely with the Buy More on Dips type. I have always been someone who looks for opportunities during market downturns, as I see them as a chance to buy quality stocks at lower prices. My strategy revolves around staying invested for the long term, typically over ten years, which matches the post's timeframe for success. I find this approach suits my patience and belief in the market's eventual recovery. The Never Sell type does not quite fit my style, as I am not entirely against selling if I see a need to rebalance my portfolio or lock in gains. While I admire the discipline of those who hold forever, I prefer a bit more flexibility in my investments. I also think

I'm the type of investor that hold for long term, but then all exit strategies must have the right price. holding long for sake of holding long does not justify its pure consensus. In any case there's no right or wrong approach, it's a matter of different angle approach and view point. No matter what's the your strategies or approach are, the main thing persist in the investing world, Don't loss your money. @MillionaireTiger @BillionaireN @JC888

In this wild market, I’ve come to believe there are only three types of investors who consistently make money: The Patient Long-Term Holder These are the ones who buy great companies, ignore the noise, and let compounding do the work. They don’t flinch during corrections — in fact, they often buy more. Their edge? Time, conviction, and emotional control. The Calculated Trader Fast, nimble, and armed with a strategy. These folks read charts like a language, manage risk with discipline, and don’t fall in love with any stock. It’s a game of probabilities, and they play it like a chess match — not a casino. The Opportunistic Contrarian They buy when everyone’s panicking and sell into euphoria. It takes guts to go against the crowd, but this type thrives on fear and greed. They see value where

Buy more on dip sounds easy on paper but extremely difficult to execute like the recent Trump induced sharp correction. Once your overall portfolio value is sinking it is hard to convince to inject new funds into good value stocks. The overwhelming thinking at that point is to preserve your existing capital

Only 3 Types of Investor Make Money: Which One Are You?

There are generally three types of investors who consistently make money in the US stock market — regardless of market conditions — as long as they stay in for at least ten years.1. The “Never Sell” TypeUnmoved by downturns, indifferent to rallies, they seem emotionally detached from market fluctuations. Gains and losses are just numbers in account. But in reality, “never selling” often means sticking with strong fundamentals. They hold not blindly, but because the business remains sound.Representative figure: Warren Buffett2. The Swing TraderThey follow the rhythm of the market: building positions at the bottom, riding through consolidation, profiting from rallies, and cashing out near the top. When done with discipline over time, swing trading can compound into impressive long-term retur
