I really don't see the point of checking charts 100 times per day if you are here "for the long run"

Most of people keep saying "I am here for the long run" yet when the market is red (blood from nose red, not blood in the streets red) they keep checking charts 100 times per day, panicking and so on. I will understand it if you are trying to time the market. Good luck with that though I got rekt everytime when I tried it. But seriously, what is the point of doing that? You are not going to learn anything new if you just keep watching the prices over and over again. You may destroy your social life by watching it all the time, for example you go out with your friends on a coffee or something and there you are with a phone in your hand every couple of minutes watching the charts. I don't see the point, really. Maybe you should think about "chilling out" from charts a little bit and go for a walk or something, just enjoy in something else. Stop killing your brain cells. submitted by /u/UnexperiencedIT [link] [comments]
