I think you're confusing wildass pumpers with calculated traders, there is a difference you know.
It actually takes a lot of talent,tools and discipline to be an effective fast in and out trader.
Sure, you can buy stocks like this and sit back and watch it slowly accumulate and that's totally fine.
I'm enjoying it.
But at the same time those that diligently do scans and watch the news like a hawk and ferret out bottom plays have my utmost respect and admiration.
It takes a lot of work to execute a good trade and there are many different trading styles.
