Long term investment

Both long term and short term investment are hard. Both requires a specific set of skills. When it comes to long term investment, patience is must. Because the money when invested for a decade needs no withdrawal to see the real compounded growth. Everybody see this power of compounding and they land into investment as soon as they can. Those people with real poor mindset always rely on their emotions for placing further entries and exists.
If we look at those who had succeeded and made a massive wealth, we could see that one of the most important thing that aided their process of wealth creation is holding. They have this ground level patience and they hold for decades. That is a skill. Waiting for the returns from an investment that was initiated decades before.
It is very much easy to see investment as an option with less work and preperation. But it is not. It requires skills to analyse a company fundamentally. Among thousands of companies, the one with right set of values gets investments from us. That requires a great effort. And a long term investor should not fall into the trap of short term fluctuations.
