Tests after tests by scientists indicate that investors have a natural tendency to stay with their newly-bought securities only a short time. Their impulses dictate that they sell and then opt for something else. The media chatter and what acquaintances buy and sell have a major influence.
And as a rule, this hurts investors.
I repeat what I have said countless times, based on my evaluation over the years of over 1,600 investment strategies. Discipline is most important. You should buy every investment with a firm goal and you sell only when that goal is definitely not attainable. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
