Episode 3732:

Ramit Sethi explains why checking your stocks every day is a recipe for anxiety and poor money management, and why most market news and pundit stock picks are noise rather than signal.

Quotes to ponder:

"Sweating out the slightest variation of your stocks daily is a recipe for an anxiety attack AND poor financial management."

"I only check my stocks once or twice a month to make sure the automation is working."

"For financial security, it's more important than anything else to start early."
