Yesterday oil went from 56.6 to 57.5, and then back again ... 

Groundbreaking moves. And journalism.

Remember the bet between me and hedge fund friend?  Made it at 59 ... she is 74, I'm 44. 

Could take a while ☹️ ... need shooty/super glut/trade talks, anything! This mid 50s shit is boring.

My friend has gotten to the point where he checks his stock investments almost every minute on his cell phone.  This affects him in that when his stocks are up he is happy and when they are down he is unhappy.  This mood swing can happen during daily stock swings.  I am sure that he is not the only one who is chained this way to the stock market.

He’ll be really unhappy if he’s doing this while driving and either a cop pulls him over or he becomes a hood ornament on a Mack truck!

LOL never heard of this 8ball, love it 

[canadas canadas + 67]

He's into penny stocks.which can be volatile.

[Guest]

That makes it even worse mate.

If oil or gold I'd understand, kinda - the potential stress factor short term if large positions and checking all the time.

Penny stocks not worth the stress, tell him to reduce position sizes and learn patience ...  👍

A magic 8 ball or random number generator would actually improve a lot of peoples trading success.  People are emotional creatures.

Ten positive answers, five negative, five noncommittal. Positivity must sell better.
