Strategy at this dynamic juncture

Investment is a new game for me. My first curiosity for this blog is strategies with which we can approach the endeavor of turning our money into more money. Day-trading seems a tedious project, but it seems to me that there is opportunity in such a strategy at this time. Owning MTW and MICC gives me motion sickness, watching them go up and down.

Then again, perhaps long term appreciation is a better strategy; less risky, less of a pain. Or some union of these strategies? Does anyone have thoughts on this issue or know good resources to educate myself with?
