I am a short term trader and never leave my PC when my money is somewhere in cyberspace, let alone try to sleep well when I go to sleep not knowing if I will wake up richer or poorer. To do either would be irresponsible, IMO.
Quote from S2007S:
These wild swings are great, up 400 one day, next day down 200. I dont know how long this volatility is going to last but you have to know that a few times in the last 30 minutes of trading these past few weeks when the market was selling off it sold off extremely hard into the close and when it was in rally mode it has closed up strong. This is the second time in a week the market has rallied extremely strong into the close however a day or 2 later it was lower. The only thing that can keep this market moving higher are earnings, especially this week out of big tech and industrial names, but I highly doubt it will happen.
