Time Zones...
Everyone times, it's the length of the time which determines what type of investor you are.
I break down the time periods as follows:
VL...very long holding period of 5+ years. Warren Buffett of course is the quintessential long term holder.
L...long term of 1+ years.
S...short, 1-2 months.
VS...very short, 2 -4 weeks.
F...flash, 1 - 2 weeks.
D...Day, 1 day or less.
As of today, both VL and L smell nothing but roses with the economy being in fall, THE best season to own both stocks and bonds.
Short term timers have up in spring, with a pick up in both growth and inflation.
Very short and flash timers place the economy in winter, with a decline in both growth and inflation.
Take your pick. From an investing stand point VL and L find this a wonderful opportunity to load up more with VLCT and LQD as their prices drop.
Short holders are holding TBF and adding to JNK as prices fall.
Very short and flash holders are holding TLT and SJB.
Day traders can change positions within a days time, so who knows what they like.
This is what makes markets function. An asset is a buy to one trader and a sell to the other based on which time zone they operate in.
Me personally, I have me feet in the S, VS, and F.
