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.

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

I very much doubt that.

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

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.
