Do you really need to watch the market by the minutes?

Why do you need to watch the market by the minutes?

• If you are long-term value investors looking for dividends income.
• If you don't have stop losses and have your target sell price in mind

For your target sell price, you only need to set SMS or email alert or just queue overnight.

Whether the stock price goes up or down doesn't really matter to you?

I think most people are watching the market out of habits rather than the need to monitor it so closely.
