Here’s everything you need to know about short-term trading and long-term investing in 2023, from OneOption's Founder Pete Stolcers in a new episode of the Early Bird podcast.

Going Long: To be a long-term investor in a stock, Stolcers recommends looking at the stock’s trends, competitors of the company, the regulatory environment, balance sheets, and valuation metrics.

Beware: Stolcers said that long-term investors should avoid trading on a short-term news item if they don’t understand technical analysis.
