If you had $100k today, investing or swing trading?
Assume this is money you don't need for years.
I'm mostly investing, but allocated only 5% to swing trading tests. Tried technical analysis, but prefer fundamentals.
Would you put most of it into long-term investments and basically leave it alone, or actively swing trade part of it?
I'm not asking which one can theoretically make more.
I'm more interested in what happens in practice once you include mistakes, time, stress, taxes, and periods where the market just doesn't cooperate.
For people who have done both with meaningful money, which one would you choose if you were starting again?
I'm not looking for financial advice. Just to know what you think in general.
