Patience

Every investment strategy goes through periods where it works poorly. That’s life. If you have a strategy that always works well, that means:

• You haven’t run it long enough.
• You’re not running enough money.
• You’re not taking enough risk.

Survive through your bad times, and prosper during the times where your intelligent strategy is paying off. Patience is a virtue in investing for the most part.
