Here is just a small sample from Friday for you. Minimized badly but still nice gains. Some people work all week for money you can make shorting in a few minutes.
I do get for those that are clueless about trading and don't have the skills the best approach is to slowly put away money over time and let markets work long term. Within 10-20 year time frame gains will exponentially add up as market over time appreciates. Some of us like to make money every day though vs playing a monkey that sits on a position for years.
