Is having a buy and hold mentality to stocks a bad idea if you have an average income?

Since you can only get profits after a long time, assuming dividends are like less than $100 a year.

No, Buy & Hold is a super idea.

Though single stock investing ('stock picking') not.

Better think passive stock indexing via cheap and large ETFs, success will be on Your side (as least probalistically outperformance over stock picking strategy).

Nope. There's capital appreciation as well. After a few years, your capital may increase 20% or more. If you are talking about creating a passive income with dividends, then yes. Its hard if your capital is low.
