Certainly IF you are trading. How many spec stocks give you a return while you continue to own the asset (aka rent) like property does? Answer none. If you want to get a relatively steady return from a share investment you normally invest in blue chips for the dividends and you won't generally get the a fantastic capital return like the right spec share.
