Totally agree. Investing is a “long game” situation, or at least should be for the average person. Day traders are a different breed, and it’s an all-encompassing endeavor. Like my friends I mentioned before, you’ll be watching the market CONSTANTLY, and constantly reading up on market (and world) news. If that sounds like fun to you, go right ahead. I’d rather buy stable stocks and not have to watch them day to day. Just let them sit and grow until I retire.
My 401k is setup that way, and I trade the same way: conservatively.
