Don't believe everything on the Internet about Investing

Tweet

I just read an article about investing which said that retires should not invest using the strategy of buy and hold. That my be true for some people but I think it really depends on the person. Not only am I a retiree but I was unemployed for over twenty years before I was eligible to draw retirement. If I had followed just that advice, I would be considerably worse off financially now than I am. I did use a mixed strategy but most of my success has been buy and hold and most of my loses have been the opposite of that although I did get some income in the later but, also, had some huge loses in the value of the investments sometimes.
