Not so confident in the market as you Colin... buy and hold is a good strategy in a bull market (something that most of us are accustomed to)..... other generations were not so lucky and 'buy and hold' strategies would have gotten them eaten for lunch.

Everything has its day (or cycle)

I should qualify that I have gone long many different stocks during this last run-up.... all short-term investments though..... 2nd leg of this horrific bear market is on its way... I am starting to lighten up on all longs as S&P gets closer to 1100-ish area.
I would never consider holding anything for 10 years in the current environment.
