C'mon, there is nothing here. It's just a thought bubble and a very small one at that.

I’m guessing this automatically purchases stock based on how much time you spent on your phone, instead of a set interval.

> Software platform services will be provided by Shilling through its patent pending mobile and web software application configured to assist its clients in automatic investing / purchases of securities.

my guess is they buy stocks of the companies that run the apps you spend your time on (e.g., buy facebook stock if you spend a bunch of time on instagram).

Yes, you will have the option to either invest in ETFs based off your risk tolerance, individual stocks themselves or even just save.

Its a micro investing and savings app that converts the time you spend on your phone to buying securities in the stock market eg For every 24 Hours you spend on your phone, you can invest $5 into an ETF of your choice or even just put it away in a locked piggy bank
