Its easy to say short or long term investment objective. But thd key is really to be aware of what is your objective, and to actually stick to it. Its easy to be distracted and change one's strategy, but we must always be aware of our objective on why we invest in a particular stock, and to be disciplined to stick to our strategy when there are no changes to the underlying assumptions - question is, do you have the discipline?

On up trend, dont want to take profit. On down trend, refuse to sell and keep topping up margin. Eventually, close out at breakeven but opportunity cost of locking capital in for 2 years. Always manage your risk levels and dont be overly emotionally involved!
