Why selling for a quick profit during a bull run is a failure of character — and how to “sit tight” for the life-changing move
Quick profits feel safe.
But they cap your potential and feed your impatience.
Here’s why it’s a failure of character:
• It’s fear disguised as prudence
• It ignores the edge you identified
• It lets emotion dictate decisions instead of discipline
• It rewards mediocrity and punishes patience
Sitting tight isn’t easy—but it’s how fortunes are made:
Define your risk – know where your trade idea is invalidated
Ignore short-term noise – let small pullbacks or wicks pass
Focus on process, not price – if your setup remains valid, let it ride
Visualize the life-changing move – big trends don’t happen every day, and they reward those who wait
The market gives, then tests, then rewards the patient.
Sell too early, and you feed the illusion of “safety” while leaving wealth on the table.
Discipline is profit. Patience is power.
Sit tight. Let the market do the rest.
