You raise a good point Travis and I hear you ;)
There’s what I call disciplined investors who think long term strategy, building the portfolio, distributing the risks, staying away from “gimmicky stocks” etc …. That’s me in a nutshell Then there’s “quick win” investors who hope to jump in and see quick returns … Both of these have strengths/weaknesses that are rather obviously in my opinion.
