Average stock hold time: 22 seconds.

Stock markets have changed pretty radically in the last 30 years, and not for the better. Hudson is talking about US markets here, but it's a similar story in Europe and elsewhere.

fishy statistics warning

That figure is probably bogus and in any case not necessarily relevant: High frequency traders may do massive amounts of trades per day but large amounts of stock is still owned by long term investors. Trading the same stock thousands of times per day doesn't magically move the long term investments into the market.

It seems that the real mean duration of holding is still measured in months.
