My style is a combination of "Investing + Trading". I have a core account portfolio where I hold a stock as long as thesis stands and within the same account i actively trade with short term ideas and also index F&O for hedging
My gut / conviction plays an important role in my decisions and I feel is something one cultivates over a long period of experience.
