Having invested in stocks over the last 40yrs, one thing I have learnt is that one needs to be patient.
Earlier on I would be impatient if a stock price just moved sideways and I would end up selling, only to see a short time later the stock move and often rocket North.
Im as frustrated as most here as to the consolidation of SLM share price at much lower levels than its hyped high, but I'm not selling at these price levels
Im confident results will prove positive in the near future and see the current price improve greatly
