I guess you don't know about the concept of allowing assets to "appreciate." Can you discern and articulate a difference between "buy-and-hold" and "neglect?"
Indeed I can.
Someone who is buying and holding securities will usually report their dividend income on their taxes using the statements that their custodial institution sends them.
They do not allow their tax documents to return unopened to the sender for years.
If someone is buying and holding hard goods that they keep in a safety deposit box, they will pay the fees for the box rather than fail to pay for the box for years.
