Out of every 100 trading days an index that climbs over the long run still closes red. Check it daily and that is the portfolio you feel.
A friend refreshes his holdings app maybe ten times a day. Same fund I hold. He is miserable, I am fine, we own the exact same thing. The only difference is he looks at it every couple of hours and I look about twice a year. So I pulled the numbers on what all that looking actually does.
