Many people are still hesitant between trade and hold. In my opinion, Investment is different from speculation is that you spend time and knowledge for it. When you trust and understand, you will not be afraid of the volatility of the market. It's an investor or a HOLDER. It's very good, but I think you get to know the market, trade, the cycle of market so you can be an investor, a smart holder.
"Dont be a blind bull. ALL markets are cyclical. Dont be afraid of pullbacks or market crashes thats where you can make the most money"
Smart investor are not those who predicts the market but those who has ability to move with market. Prediction most of the times comes opposite like when large number of people are expecting or predicting something will happen, it usually happens in other way. So, I think smart are those who has an ability to move with market up and down.
