I wish I had a dollar for my trading stocks that became a long term hold (because of my great financial management of course...cough! cough!)
I admire those that can trade the short term profitably ongoing. It takes incredible discipline and a sort of ability to disassociate yourself with the stock (or what ever you are trading). I traded currencies full time for a couple of years and it was very difficult not to attach emotion to the trades.
The killer is that we change our minds. I wonder how many have their selling strategy locked down for VEC? If it drops many will just hold on in hope of a recovery. If it surges ahead many will back slap and hang on for FOMO. The smart ones will simply take their profits (or cut their losses) at a predetermined price and move on.
In the meantime we amuse ourselves with some facts, fodder and banter
