Most people and most money aren't day traders plus of course whether you or others actually do "make more" from short-term trading vs longer-term holding is neither here nor there as the vast majority of people (and money) are incapable of executing that MO.
So, while you can attempt to win bragging rights on here (having just missed out on who knows how much having banked yesterday at 247p whilst barracking long-term holders and whilst I sold my 233p shares from yesterday at 320p today) it holds no sway with regular people, it's just not relevant.
What is relevant to most people is having a sense of security, a steady, inflation-beating dividend and the very likely chance of multiplying their capital over the next year or so - I see no better option for that than HBR and that was before all of the recent news.
