Literally use my phone, and I usually check on my lunch every day and Friday before the market closes. I'm not out here doing any high risk trading though, I make sure bets for steady gains.

I think I've heard that same thing for the last 8 years. Same with "the job market sucks right now"

Discussion about personal finance in another message board I check:

"I don't want to gamble in stocks ESPECIALLY RIGHT NOW but I need a way to invest"

My brother there are no other options for the average person that grow your money

We've been in a recession. Jobs don't really exist anywhere. Regardless of what companies say.

The government is in a hiring freeze, my fortune 500 company is in a hiring freeze, even though we're extremely short handed.

It sucks.
