Learn to trade with your own knowledge, if you are afraid of experiencing losses then use funds that you can afford to lose, or switch to being a long-term holder.
The best choice is what you have said there and that's becoming a long term holder. Still many doesn't understand the essence of long term holding and how profitable it is.
I think they're because short term on this market and wants to extract as much as they can and to profit as quickly as possible.
The traders remain too because they're in it for the profit but it takes time for them as well to become a profitable trader. If I can choose for others, I'd also say choose to be a holder.
It is also beneficial to become a long-term shareholder to increase and experience the company’s investment value at a steady rate. However, due to the fact that the idea is patient and focused on the value that has been set at the very beginning, we can observe that it started to grow and therefore, the results are affected as well. People seem to desire fast profits in the investment world, but more often than not, patience to wait for the stocks to mature will yield better profits. On the same note for the individuals who opt to become traders, a process is followed in order to make continuous profits. Every person decides for himself, but staying in the stock for the long term has been beneficial for many people.
