True, "You always speak in terms of "investing" and Holding, etc."

Yep, I always refer to what I do as investing. I haven't bought a new stock in several years. I sold some shares a few years ago to trim a holding that had become outsized. I have a profit in every one of the 15 individual stocks I own. Some, like Rockwell Automation, I've owned for several decades. It's grown many times over and years ago spun off positions in Boeing and Skyworks Solutions. I control the few things about investing that can be controlled, especially taxation. I'm sure you realize that I never buy penny junk like RNVA.

Why don't I trade? Because it doesn't work. "The More You Trade the More You Lose." https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-more-you-trade-the-less-you-earn.
