How are you handling your portfolio? How much are risking in % of your portfolio in short term gain vs. Long term gain?
As such, if you get involved, the golden rule is not to invest any more than you can afford to lose. If you have followed this rule then all your investments should be considered long-term, and by long-term, I mean 35 years minimum. Why? Simply because the longest bear run we have experienced is two years. Those who invested in Bitcoin in December 13 and didnt panic sell during the crash had to wait until early 17 to be back in profit. Over three years. A bear market can hit us at any point and if it does then the longest we have experienced is two years and this is our benchmark.
