Sure, you have to sell eventually. But you could have bought a few thousand dollars worth of Microsoft stock in 1986 and sell it today, nearly 40 years later, for 10s of millions. Try doing that with a box of cereal.

INVESTING IS NOT TRADING!!!
If you have a job and you invest for the long term, cool, but trading is my business... It's how many people make a full time living... You can't make an actual working living sitting on a stock for years. That is something you look for retiring on.
Never said it was. I was just responding to your analogy.
