First time investor - Vanguard (how often do you check your ISA?)

Masomnia

I check all the time. Like picking a scab is right, it's a compulsion even though you know you shouldn't.

If it did drop 35% I'd be cool with that though and I'd consider topping up, so it's not as if I'm checking because I'm worried. I just like to know...

I like to take a note of the values of pensions and ISAs, plus what was contributed, on a monthly basis and record it in a spreadsheet. Makes pretty graphs I don't worry about whether it has gone up or down.

I do exactly the same! On the last day of every month I record a variety of figures, including pension and share/fund values.


At the moment, I'm checking my VLS100 almost daily but that's only because I'm looking to invest the remainder of my LISA cash. Not trying to time the market as such, but this week seems to have been pretty negative so I thought I'd give it a few more days in case things take a massive dive following Trumpy's latest shenannigans. No doubt as soon as I invest, the price will immediately plummet anyway.
