Patience will always pay, the problem is most want that instant satisfaction type play. In the end, you'd probably make more just holding and waiting for the play to materialize rather than chasing stocks here and there. That is always a losing strategy and you will slowly give your money away.
My post is only my opinion, I recommend you always do your own DD! I am not a licensed broker or a professional by any means, so take what I say as entertainment value at best.
