Learning About Short And Long Term Stock Market Investing

By Sam Smith

During this turbulent economic time where stock market indexes are plummeting and rising almost every day due to the crisis calls for a special investment plan so that risk is minimized. There is a need for the clever planning of investment and saving strategies so that they reflect the changing nature of the playing field.

When it comes to investing in the stock market there are various opinions regarding what is the best strategy to do so. Some say that the best way to invest in the stock market is short term while others believe that only long term plans are fruitful. These two sides rarely reach agreement. One approach is conservative and the other is not.

The most commonly known type of aggressive investor is the day trader. Day trading means that the investor functions in a short time frame by buying and selling their investments in short intervals and sometimes many times in a single day.

The second type of stock market investor is the one that takes less of a risk by making calculative buys and by holding their investments for longer of periods of time. These investors look at historical trends and examine each company extensively before they go ahead and make an investment.

Varying your investments as well as your investment strategies is essential in making the most out of investing during turbulent economic times. The more you spread your risk between investments and investment strategies the better chances you get to avoid the economic turbulence.

Short term investors enjoy both positive and negatives regarding their approach. On the one hand a day trader can see returns from one day to another and be able to pull out from an investment at any given point but on the other hand they must constantly be on the lookout for their investments.

Long term investors on the other hand dont really have to be on the lookout all the time, they buy and hold. This strategy involves much less stress than the day trading approach. The problem with long term investing is that it is difficult to jump out of an investment if it goes south. - 23212
