I think this strategy makes perfect sense if you are a risk averse long term investor. Obviously if your trading strategy is at all time sensitive this could cause a disaster. There are so many different investment strategies, but this long term strategy of slow and steady is likely the best method of investing for the average person. If you are after higher returns they do not come with out a cost; you will pay in the extra time and attention required to manage most other strategies. Further, your strategy of buy and hold makes good tax sense; if you were to sell you would face a capital gain and doing this repetitively eats away at your profits.
