Because there are no rationale for a trade, merely a gut feel or a technical trend that could go either way, I was always on my toes.So which method yields higher returns for you over say a period of 4 years? Active trading or value investing?
Since I moved over to value investing, it had helped to reduce the fear by a great deal because I know I have a reason for investing in a particular share with a margin of safety. (Recommend reading Benjamin Graham Intelligent Investor. It's a great book). I function much better daily with value investing.
