If you had a strategy, you could answer the question yourself.
So: look for a tested strategy first and then decide. You have time.

@Epi very helpful comment, you can't even ask the opinion of others anymore.🤦♀️

@Epi There's nothing wrong with your statement, but insinuating that I don't have a strategy isn't the polite thing to do. You may have more experience or be a professional. But let me have the experience and know how to build 😊

@Epi actually buy and hold, but if I no longer think a share makes sense then I am happy to switch. Dividends are not so important for me at the moment. I already suspect that this phrase "back and forth empties your pockets" will come up. But thank goodness it hasn't happened yet.

Buy and hold is perhaps not a bad approach. If Dear Semra is really on the lookout for buy and hold stocks. Buy and hold stocks have proven to be robust in the past, which might not be a bad thing in times of Trump. Because they are often moat stocks. Of course, a strategy also includes the necessary diversification. But I think you will be happy to advise dear Semra on this

@Tenbagger2024 The most ingenious B&H4ever stocks were once $GE (before the share merger) and $BP.. You can see how far you would have come in the last 30 years.
I maintain that B&H only makes sense with index ETFs. Everything else is kamikaze or self-deception.

@Epi there are enough other examples of good buy and hold stocks over 10-20 years. Like FICO, Constellation Software etc.

@Tenbagger2024 Of course there are!
But how do you know BEFOREhand whether a share is a B&H share?
The two examples were considered THE B&H stocks par excellence in 2000-2005. At the end of the 90s, I think it was $DTE and AOL. In the late 80s it was Nippon Steel and whatnot.
My point: these stocks, which had the best charts, stories and fundamentals back then and were in everyone's portfolio, have all become pipe dreamers. The same will happen to 80% of the supposed B&H stocks in the portfolios here. It's always been like this and there's no reason why it won't stay that way.
