Yes. You will end up doing what every newbie does: panic sell when the price dips, and buy in when the price hikes back up, and you end up losing money because you don't know what you are doing!

So leave it to the pros. I am not one of them, but have made enough botched trades in the past to know that day trading is not my thing.

Just buy in low, play the waiting game for a month or three, then come back and see what you have. I guarantee you it will be more than what you started with.
