While it might be very important for investors to know exactly what is going on with their portfolios, it should be noted that short-term market fluctuations have the tendency to be quite volatile. Longer-term investors may not be overly concerned about stock price fluctuations on a day to day basis if they are in a position for the long haul. Shorter-term investors may be keeping a much closer eye on things if they had originally planned to get in or out at certain levels. Of course, staying up on technical and fundamental data may prove to be the difference between a good portfolio and a great portfolio. Many sharp investors may have taken a considerable amount of time crafting a unique strategy. Keeping focused on previously determined risk tolerance and goals may help drown out the day to day noise to keep the longer-term goals clearly in view.
