Today's investment

[Fraufruit]

My advisor tells me not to look at my portfolio so much.

[yesterday]

I think your advisor is right

Buying index funds is a long term game.

On average you make 7 % a year

But you can lose lots in short term, just keep thing about the long term, if we live that long

Seriously, the markets went up far to much in the last years and now I expect lower performance for the next couple of years, hope not a crash

Thanks for pointing this out. I was actually already very well aware of everybody's recommendation NOT to check the portfolio too frequently.
Yet I check it many times every day. More because I'm a data nerd, rather than I care about finances.
Perhaps I should stop....

It's difficult, especially with crypto where it can easily swing 5% in a matter of minutes.

it may well be difficult not to keep monitoring often, but that's not the reason I continue doing it.

Huge gain yesterday, 1.5%.
The last 1 week I'm up 0.6%, though the last 1 month I'm down 0.4%.
This game is fun.

[Alberto]

I'm up the last 24hr (+1.33%), the last 7days (+2.79%), the last 1month (+0.56%), and the last 1yr (20%)

Keep at it, Alberto. You'll have € 1000 before you know it.

Let's keep both feet on the ground.
I'm doing well. But not that well.

[LeonG]

My portfolio hops up and down but in the long term, it's up. I check it once a month. I don't see the point of checking it more often.

[Fraufruit]

Mine jumps up when I check my bank activity so hard to avoid.

[Alberto]

I don't see the point of checking it more often.

For fun.

[yesterday]

My investments are going up and down all the time, why bother to check on a daily basis ?

I sometimes check every day and sometimes not for months.....

Not sure what drives my actions.

I kinda believe in the 7 % rule on average, so not much point to check, until I go into the draw down phase of my life, being careful not to draw to much is worth while checking. I would like to draw down at some point so I am not the richest person in the graveyard.

If I am investing in individual stocks, I do check more often, because the gains and losses can be more noticeable and I might not see it if I am slow.

Exactly what my advisor says. "You've been in it for the long haul and it's worked out beautifully. A monthly check-in is fine and don't sweat it."

[Alberto]

Again: I check many times every day and I do it for fun.
