I'd rather dump what's going down and buy what's going up. Anyone who held banking stocks the past six months would have done much better to dump them if only to get back in 3-6 months later - even if this isn't the bottom for them yet. Some situations like that are just easy to see coming, once they start. It’s not for me. I’d rather dump what’s going down and buy what’s going up.

It is probably one of the best most correct tips around. However, this is also one of the hardest to implement due to psychological aspects of investing. Naturally buy and hold can not exist by itself and should be accompanied by proper diversification. Buy and hold is good basic investing. It is probably one of the best most correct tips around.

I like the BUY AND HOLD for as long as the company is fundamentally sound and the money can't be better employed elsewhere. I guess I'm more of a fundamental investor than a daily chartist.

BUT if the money can be better employed elsewhere, why wouldn't I sell? I mainly invest for INCOME (why else would I want to own(invest) a(in a) business(stock)? One thing I didn't see you touch on is the tax advantages to the buy and hold forever and the way the money can grow through compound interest - the compound interest of the money that would have went to the government if you had sold over a period of thirty years of investing.
