The best investment professional is one who fully understands your objectives and matches investment recommendations to your goals. You'll want someone you can understand, because your investment professional should teach you about investing and investment products. Investing makes it possible for your money to work for you. In a sense, your money has become your employee, and that makes you the boss. You'll want to keep a close watch on how your employee, your money, is doing.
Some people like to look at the stock quotations every day to see how their investments have done.
That's probably too often. Remember, you're in for the long haul. Some people prefer to see how they're doing once a year. That's probably not often enough. What' s best for you will most likely be somewhere in between, based on your goals and your investments.
