Agreed - Superman is a 'slow burner' you have to 'warm' to him!
Im tempted to play the markets game - but as you say it's too much time and effort for little real reward unless you are prepared to go in with some serious cash. I'm waiting to see what happens at the end of this month and will probably use a few savings to buy some of the 'long' term holds like Ether and Bitcoin.
I do thing there's levels at which you can gamble / speculate in this market and i'm happy with smaller gains for less risk :)
