Patience.
It sounds simple enough. But for most of us, it isn't. Ever have that driver pull out of a parking lot in front of you like he's driving to an emergency (of course there was no one behind you, he could have waited for you to pass but had to cut you off instead) ... and then proceed to drive down the road in front of you slow enough to make you think he has a flat tire? Does this just happen to me? You sit there behind the wheel wondering if the only rush he was in was to get in front of you to slow you down. - Or at the checkout line. The customer in front of me invariably always has something going on. Just buy the stinking thing and get out of my way..... but it never seems to work that way.
Patience.
Is it easy to accept delay without getting upset or angry? Hell no!
Patience and trading stock options go hand in hand. Is it easy watching your trade erode as the timer is ticking toward option expiration? Hell No!
