Long-term swing trading in my opinion is one of the most successful investing techniques. This is looking solely at strong companies, blue chip stocks and investing in them when they pull back. An example of this right now would be Home Depot. It's been an uptrend for over 10 years now and has recently pulled back off its highs. An example that I recently took was Costco. It sold off more than 15% so I took a position not knowing when I would see profit but having the comfortability of knowing that it's a great company. In two months later, it's back at new highs and I'm up almost 15%. Overall, this is best when invested into an index fund with the majority of your money giving you diversification and then taking a smaller percentage to buy a great company at a great price and simply holding it until it does what it's been doing for the past decade. What is an index fund? An index fund is an easy way to invest in every stock in an index (list) in proportion to the size of the company. For example, a fictional "USA Ten" index fund that holds the ten biggest US stocks would look like this: Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., VISA, CHASE, Johnson & Johnson, Walmart. And then taking a smaller percentage to buy a great company at a great price and simply holding it until it does what it's been doing for the past decade.
