A comment on “Buy and Hold” No More: The Resurgence of Active Trading. Parent comment
Active trading will is more likely to have larger swings than passive trading.
In the short-run the good times will be better and the bad-times will be worse.
In the long-run, statistically the majority (not all!) that play the game will lose over the long run to passive investors.
None of this is to argue for one of doing things over the other so long as people understand the risks that they're opting into.
