Which is better: Short-term Trading or Long-term Investing?
I have just started reading about investing a few days ago so I still have a long way to go. Currently, I’m reading Ben Graham’s "Intelligent Investor" and from what I’ve read so far, he’s adverse to speculative trading/day trading and he advocates long-term investing and looking at the value of a company rather than merely looking how its price fluctuates in the market. He cites many examples of speculative traders who incurred big losses in the long-run.
But then, I’ve been following this forum where a professional day trader talks about long-term investment being merely a propaganda. He is saying, to the best of my understanding, that we should take advantage of the volatility of the market and never ever buy-and-hold. And he seems to be very knowledgeable in this area and he’s making big profits out of it. I’ve also read a couple of articles saying that buy-and-hold is a myth and we should always do something about the market trends. But these are the very things that Graham warned the non-professional investor about.
Now, I don’t know what to believe. I don’t know if I will have the answers after finishing Graham’s book. :[

Is all the stories about the U.S dollar becoming worthless true or is that just some more propaganda?
I know that 1 Euro is equal to .55 USD now. Our monetary system is supposed to be the strongest in the world. I just don’t understand what’s going on here. People keep saying that the dollar is loosing its value because of all the all the new money that the B.E.P. is printing but on the other side of the coin (No Pun intended) The B.E.P. is destroying millions of dollars of old currency each day.
I personally am not worried if the U.S. does actually become worthless because I’ll just start growing my own food and start living off the grid. I’m not a “Tree Hugger” but I’m not going to let it get me down and depressed so “Big Pharma” can sell more antidepressants. Call me crazy but I think we need to start bartering and trading again like the settlers did when they first got off the Mayflower.
