Those who try to profit in the 1st not many weeks usually aren't too successful. Sure, some are but for the most part most aren't.
Those who show the best results are those who purchase stocks in sound businesses and hold on to them for long periods of time, ten to 20 years. They let the businesses make them money not the market.
Assuming a sound company can growth their income by 10% a year, in 20 years they'll have grown them by about 7x and the stock will appreciated therefore. And there will be not tax liability so long as the stock isn't sold.
