The differences between long-term and short-term investing

[Zelda]

In my experience, long-term investing focuses on holding assets like stocks or real estate for years, allowing them to grow and compound over time. For example, buying shares in a stable company like Apple and holding them for a decade. Short-term investing, on the other hand, involves quick trades to capitalize on market fluctuations, such as buying and selling stocks within days or weeks. Day trading tech stocks is a good example of this approach, requiring constant monitoring and quick decisions.
