I just want to be clear on this.
Buy and Hold
does not mean Buy and Forget About.
You still need to monitor your holdings whether they be stocks, bonds, real estate, gold, pork bellies or frozen orange juice futures. You still need to rebalance periodically to stay in line with your chosen asset allocation. You still need to be mindful that a stock or fund that was a good choice when you invested may no longer fit your purposes at some later date.
I think a lot of people misunderstand all of that when they hear "buy and hold". Not suggesting you don't understand, Scanner, but others may not.
