canadas canadas + 62 c November 13 (edited) 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. Edited November 13 by canadas canadas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DayTrader + 1,531 November 13 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 ... 👍 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
