investing long term is generally safer whenever it's done on a company or stock that you believe will go up in the near future. and as long as you have that in mind, it's all about growing your money in the market rather than chasing and trying to make money on the market which is hard for a lot of people. but it is also best most especially if you have a lot of work or passionate hobbies in mind and just want to have a peace of mind while investing your money, and not lose all your hair in the process. if you think such a strategy suits your lifestyle, you should definitely think about it.
