Many investors like their growth stocks so well they never sell. Shares like IBM, Zenith, Connecticut General Life, Minnesota Mining, etc., have been so rewarding that long-term holders would consider it almost a heresy even to consider selling. Who are the Traders? There are at least three classes of people, however, whose market motivation is not the search for income or long-term growth but eagerness for trading profits. These three classes would include: (1) the constitutional speculators, not necessarily gamblers, but people willing to "take a chance"; to take big risks in hope of great gain; (2) those who think or hope they can supplement their incomes by modest trading in and out of the market; and (3) people with very large incomes to whom fully taxable income is unattractive, but to whom long-term (over six months) market profits at only 25%, are most alluring.
