Quick video explaining the definition of the buy and hold strategy.

This video explains that investors can no longer buy and hold blindly with the expectation to make money.

Overview

Buy and Hold is a basic investing strategy where investors buy and hold a security for an extended period of time. The belief is that it is better to allow a security the opportunity to grow over time, versus attempting to trade in and out of a stock for quick gains. Buy and hold traders see stocks as investments and are not concerned with timing each move.
