Markets wobble daily; that's their job. Check daily and you'll feel every wobble as a verdict on your choices — and feel tempted to act on it. Check monthly and the noise averages into signal. Your portfolio is a garden, not a cricket score.

Key takeaway

Zoom out: months tell the truth,days tell stories.
