Trigger happy dudes are singing the bluesI have time and again said in this board that trading in the market or hopping from one stock to the other is a futile tactic to make money in the market. Professional traders have all the sophisticated trading platforms to make sure they steal your money. The best way to protect yourself and make a decent buck in the market is to pick up a good stock with good fundamentals and ride it out. In the end you'll be rewarded. But it needs patience and nerves of steel to ride the storm. If you have no patience to be a long term investor and win some decent money, what you make today as a trader you'll lose it tomorrow; there is no question about it. So, with CRH, there has been a wild ride up and a wild ride down. Now it seems the stock is stabilizing and yielding the rewards to the patient. In my case, for instance, i have recovered $65K in two months time with a cost base of $ 3:10 and a total of 50k shares. Have not sold or traded the stock and i am on my way to make a decent buck. It's true however that locking money in a stock that does not move fast enough is at time frustrating but you have to ride it out and not give in to the sirens of easy money by hopping all over the place. The patient will be rewarded with this stock. And hope seems to be dawning at the end of the tunnel.GLTA
