It will definitely take time for the traders with small capital, they're the ones who will have to go through the rough situation of the market and need to be more careful with their trades in order for them to grow that capital. As said, it's required to be patient and needs do a lot of work including the analysis. Whilst for the rich, they can simply do whatever they want if it's just a spare money that they've used as their capital because it is what's easy for them to dispose and have that money back again with their other source.
