Fortunately, I'm now in a job which requires line manager approval before I place a trade and I have to hold the shares for at least 30 days before selling. This has helped stop me from making bad, impulsive trading decisions.
I have been interested in whether a buy and hold strategy out performs short-term trading. I think it is difficult to time the market well and I generally find day trading extremely stressful and a big distraction from the day job, not to mention expensive, due to trading costs and spread. Very happy to hold this until the takeover - I couldn't be more relaxed with this one :-)
