Would you "Buy and Hold" if you knew that a financial storm is coming?
No, you will dump as quick as you could.

Buy and Hold is only as good as the recovery of the market, unfortunately it takes a 333% increase to recover a 70% loss.
How long before the market increase 333% or 150% ? Can you tell?
- I can not.
I am going to quote someone, and I found his analysis very pertinent to the subject: "Buy and Hold is not a Strategy. Buy and Hold is the absence of a Strategy."

The author of that quote published an article in this website. google it.

In the mean time, I hope that everybody will recover
