Buy and Hold versus trading, why did you chose what you chose?

Thanks for any replies.

People always discuss what is better and thats a never ending discussion really.

But regardless what really is better I'd thought it to be interesting to hear why one prefers the one over the other, and if it is working or not.

Cheers.

 

I chose to trade because I don't believe the market is as efficient as the buy-and-holders think it is.

 

define trading.

 

Say 5 to 10 trades a day, week, month....
