Introduction to Long-Term Investing

Investors who plan to hold onto their securities for a while may be investing for the long term. They hold their investments for a reason: long-term investing offers rewards that short-term investing does not. It is a strategy used to attain specific goals.

Long-term investing may be called a "buy and hold" strategy. While the long-term benefits are attractive, sometimes it takes real stamina to hang on to some investments through rough markets.
