What is Buy and Hold?

InvestingBeginner

Buy and hold is an investment strategy where you purchase stocks and hold them for the long term, regardless of short-term price fluctuations. The logic is simple: over time, quality companies and the broad market tend to rise. It's the strategy followed by Warren Buffett and most successful long-term investors.
