My most memorable strategy?

Attack by Stratagem
1. Best Method : to foil the enemy with Strategies
2. Good Method : to defeat the enemy by adopting better diplomatic policy
3. Bad Method : to defeat the enemy by fighting
4. The Worst Method : to attack the enemy castle ( by seige and hold)

In the world of trading and investing, a parallel can be drawn

4. Worst Method : buy and hold stocks that do not pay dividend and prices keep  going down ( like a siege of a castle : one digs in but the ration and morale drains out. Castle still in enemy hands )
3. Bad method : buy and hold stock that do not move or pay dividend ( you employ money to fight an immovable price )
2. Good method : buy and hold stocks that gives dividend and rises slowly ( do thorough analysis, buy discount to fair value, receives dividend at above inflation rate, while price rises slowly )
1. Best method : buy and sell stock without having to hold, and get both dividend and capital gains ( insider info , buy and hold without having to pay any holding costs )
