Long-term is a period of time to average out the ups and downs. It's to get away from exactly what that article is about. In fact it's kind of the opposite of market timing - it's to try to minimise the effect timing has. As such, it is undefined, but I'd say at least 10 years. Most people fall into that bucket.
