I do casually look at what's going on (in my portfolio) from time to time, probably once a week, more out of curiosity than anything else. I'm not a superstar expert at what's going on in the market. I'm just patiently going through a really terrible difficult period, not unlike having a really terrible Nor'easter come in and cause a really terrible weather problem. I recognize this is the biggest Nor'easter we've ever had. The worst time to make long-term investment decisions is when the immediate market activity makes you feel great or awful.
