Many investors claim to be long term investors. Me too but the only difference is that I doing Long Term Investing and Short Term Trading.


This book: Short Term Trading and Long Term Investing by Charles Vintcent is available in NLB.

Hands-on Passive Investing (Buy & Hold and Active monitoring) is strongly focused on preservation of capital in the selection of stocks and cash flow from dividends and hope for capital gains if any.

Active Investing is also focus on capital preservations and may also time the market to include some cash flow from dividends. The only difference is that they don't hope for capital gains but actively time the market to achieve capital gains.

Passive Investing choose to ignore market risks and usually don't have any money management strategy in place. For Active Investing, you need to build up your money management skills to actively time the market with your personal perceived market risks and market forecast.
