The messed up market

The stock market has been extremely wishy washy in past few months and I have found it quite hard to read at times. When it comes to the market it takes extreme patience, as well as research. I have invested my money in an array of stocks and I have seen my nice ups, but also my extreme downs! I must say this...it takes faith, patience, and research to make money in the market. And a little bit of luck doesn't hurt as well!
