Description:
I try to pick stocks I won't sell for at least a year...preferably that I won't sell for at least five years or will virtually never sell. I don't have the time to research continually, and frankly I think the only way an amateur can do well at this is to put the research in at the beginning and then buy a stock that will (hopefully) experience gradual appreciation both in good markets and bad.
