How often you you look at your stock/mutual fund/ETF portfolio statement?

In today's day and age you can get real-time information straight to your brokerage account feed. So if the CEO of XYZ Company was arrested on fraud, that is something you would want to know as soon as possible if you held shares.

Truth to the power of truth! I've read more creative refrains of "this time is different" in the last several months than I ever have before. Markets go up, markets go down, no one knows what day, week, month or year will bring about ups or downs or sideways or for how long or how much. Someone's high(er) is someone else's low(er) and that will hold true foreverandeverAmen.

I make a withdrawal from it once every 3 months so I have to look at it then. That is the time any shifting of money would happen, but it rarely does. I certainly am not going to react to what the market does in one day. So, don't need to look at it daily or even weekly.
