One key piece of advice I would offer is you should definitely do something without thinking more than 30 seconds about it then think about nothing else besides whether you did a good or bad thing for the next 72 hours.
I’m not saying you stop doing other things during this time, just that you will be adding and subtracting things on a rolling basis over that 72 hr window.
You don’t have to actually do too much real analysis or research, you mostly just watch CNBC and see what they are saying and scroll your portfolio with your brow furrowed, nodding and shaking your head.
Also, sometimes you will see something on the stocks app on your phone on your “watchlist” or see one of the “leaders & laggards” on the crawl and see a stock ticker you once almost bought or you just sold, or even better “I own that crap!”
This is the life you have chosen for yourself. The life of a trader—puts, Calls, mostly just market order buys and sells. Some limit sells and buys.
If your portfolio, goes down, you can always just add more money in to the account and then look at the higher AUM. You are a stud. That is called an “inflow” you will tell your grandchildren about this. Hell yeah!
