Sure. You can do both. I am just speaking from almost 50 years of buying and holding this type of company. Have had several 15-20 baggers. Doesn't happen when your trading. When you consider that there are hedge funds that haven't lost money in 3 or 4 years, trading on a daily basis, and the fact that in every trade there is a winner and loser, you will never beat them. But, GLTY.
