EP 291: How Often Should You Check on Your Investment Returns?

How often should you log into your investment account? Daily? Weekly? Monthly? What if I told you that checking too often can actually make you feel worse — even when your investments are doing exactly what they’re supposed to do?

Today we’re talking about something almost nobody discusses in investing: the psychology of monitoring wealth.

Topics Discussed   

  • Why daily portfolio checking increases emotional investing mistakes.
  • How volatility creates long-term investment returns.
  • Why longer investing horizons improve positive return odds.
  • How loss aversion affects investment decisions.
  • What investors should monitor instead of daily balances.
