It's very true if you continue to compound your interest you can benefit slot from long term investment,I can remember 2years ago when I buy crypto and hold it for about 8 months when the price appreciate my buy status seriously I sold it and make double of what I bought it so long term investment is very profitable.but there is nothing wrong if you have short term investment you can as well make something out of there seating down and not even taking a step is the worstdepending on the money you have and the financial goals you have set, you can choose between short term and long term investment. You can profit more from long term investment if you continue to compound your return on investment. Short term investment can also make money but the return will always be lower.
