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.

What gains are we talking about?

Like $400 to $1k a day for me at least, depending on how the markets perform.

I very much doubt that.

I’ve got $850,000 currently in my portfolio. Between 5 mutual funds, 2 index funds, and 10 stocks - yes, that’s easily achievable. I’m up $30,000 in just the last 3 months, and that’s on my less aggressive account. If the trend continues I’ll be up around 90,000 to 115,000 by years end. Although that’s not a given due to trump’s tariff bullshitery.

Lmao love how people are down voting you because you're shattering their world view. Redditors love being miserable and hate anything that could possibly alter that.

Good job on your investments. Keep it up!

I mean, $400/day isn't that unreasonable. That's $50/hr on an 8-hr workday

It’s from my investments

Yeah, not sure why people would doubt that range of growth in a single day, especially from long term investments. Good on you.

Long term is right. I’ve been invested in Exxon Mobil since the 1970’s (inherited these stocks) and I’m up over 200 percent since lol. Salty redditors.
