I think there is not one strategy fits all investors. Some people like to trade (buy and sell), some buy and hold. People also change from time to time. Hopefully everyone find a strategy works. The most important thing is of course: make money :-) Sun, it’s interesting to know you used to trade more often. I think there is not one strategy fits all investors.

The first two are through DRIP programs at ComputerShare, PEY is at Firstrade, and PFM is at ShareBuilder. The reason I continue to buy these stocks is that they are dividend-paying equities and I'd like to see them generate more passive income in the future. For rest of the holdings, I didn't make any additional purchase after the initial investment, mainly because I don't know how long I will hold them, though I no longer make any short-term trading as I used to. Unlike mutual funds, which I plan to use as a supplement to our retirement savings so we can start withdraw with these funds first and let our investments in tax deferred accounts such as IRAs and 401(k) grow as long as possible, these stocks, at least some of them, are short-term investments (though I have own some for several years) and I may sell them if we need cash.  [...] [...] I add new shares of BAC, PGN, PEY, and PFM every month.
