Poll Question:
How often do you check the market spot price?
Sometimes I'll go a week or even two without checking it. I get busy and don't bother, since I check it on Kitco and if I go there I start reading the threads on their discussion board. The next thing I know, an hour has passed. (And I feel the need to check the price again.)
Usually though, I check it every couple of days, and always on Friday at the close of market.

Daily (at the least).
I like to be ready if I stumble upon an opportunity.

| Why worry about spot price unless you're looking to buy--or unless you're really in a financial bind and have no choice but to sell some PMs? I glance at spot prices every day when I check out the latest articles on Coinflation, but we've had threads before in which pretty much everyone agreed that trying to buy PMs to flip them for a profit is a pretty unreliable way to make a buck, and you might even lose money. |

I only look at the price when I buy or sell. I trade stocks all the time too, so I am buying, selling, and hedging SLV and AGQ often. At the end of each month, when I do inventory for the business, I record the spt price for valuation purposes.
I do look at whenever I see big market moves. The price action is intersting to me even if it is manipulated. |

| I usually look a few times per week. It's not really all that important to me, as I'm in it for the long term. |

| Gotta know the price to gauge buying opportunities. I check it a few times during the day. I guess it depends how much you are buying and selling. |

| I check coinflation once a day after 2:00 pm for updated copper and nickel values along with the new articles. I also have a Metal Quotes App on my iphone that gives me up to the minute spot prices for gold, silver, platinum and palladium with +/- trends at the touch of a button that I check a few times a day. |

| I look several times a day. Its nice just to know what things are doing. Sometimes you can get in on the huge swings in silver before a little correction hits. |

| I'm trading in the markets (financial) all day long...in front of quotes day in and day out. |
The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; second is war. Both bring a temporary (and false) prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunities. |

I get an email for the daily close price. Funds have been really low recently so I have not been in either a buy or sell mode.
It is hard to trust the numbers. Dollars as a measure go up and down daily in relation to other currencies, each metal moves separate from the others, they all move separate to oil, not to mention the manipulation of each one to make the others look better. |
Awake, O kings of the earth! Come ye, O, come ye, with your gold and your silver, to the help of my people, to the house of the daughters of Zion, to the help of the people of the God of this Land even Jesus Christ. |

Rarely ever. Maybe once a week? I catch it in the paper every now and then. I used to drive myself crazy looking all the time. Now, I just go with it. I can't check it all day due to work. I do check if I'm buying or selling of course. If I sat at home and traded all day or something, then things would be different.

Voted, "No more than a few times per month". Looks I'm in the low 2% range. Odd ball me I guess....
