I take part in both investing and trading - two different things, but I partake in both. I invest for the long-term looking for primarily large-mid cap stocks that have a strong dividend or the potential for a strong dividend. My long-term holds allow for compounding dividends to work their magic. Roughly 25% of my portfolio will be holding growth stocks - mid-caps through to pennystocks. Investment in growth stocks is based on strong management in a progressive sector that is growing and the potential to be a global business. My trading is primarily in penny stocks and small caps - though occasionally will buy in to large caps at a good price. Cut losses at -25% without fail and will use my judgement on when to take profit. Try to make all trades via a limit order, rather than on impulse. Holding can be between one week and a couple of months.
