patience is a virtue

when ur trading u will always encounter this question..... which is better short term or long term? and i believe that most people would choose the former. i believe this is so because of instant gratification :) being able to get ur money and being able to spend it on whatever u like :) but if u really look at the bigger picture long term investing will give u far more superior returns :) be it investing in stocks or in business. just look at the lists of the richest men in the world i could say that they are all long term investors. :) if only people here in the philippines would see the bigger picture :) the stock is a great way for them to catch a ride for financial independence :) anybody here care to give me some love advice?
