1. Greed 2. Impatience

The two things that keep you from making money in the long run and have you risking all your money chasing short term gains are greed and impatience. To be successful in investing requires the patience to sit in a position when you are correct. This takes the discipline to resist the urge to cash out of a boring stock and YOLO it all into a high volume hype trade.

The truth is in the long run the gains are not worth the risk. It is the equivalent of running across a battlefield where bullets are flying across the field.
