Whether it's Kitco or another service how many times a day do you check in?

at least ten times a day for me if I'm traveling or at my real job. When I'm trading it's a lot less. MJ

    I'd guess 20 to 30. It's probably more. My blackberry is on my hip all day long and I check Kitco like a normal person would check their watch. image

    It's the first thing I check in the morning and the last thing I look at before I go o bed. But, a 100 times a day Tim? You may have a problem! MJ

    Tide charts. What's that?image

    I probably check prices 15 or 20 times a day while I'm working or thinking about working.

    Lately it's been 6-8 times a day. Notice how slow the load time has been this week at Kitco?

    How many hits a day do you think the Kitco website has gotten this week?
  • CiccioCiccio Posts: 1,405 ✭
    Not even once...from 5:15 to 6pm EST! image
    Rest of the day? At least 20 times. PC at work, iPhone+BB during breaks and laptop at night.

    I never would have guessed all you long term holders (or anyone for that matter) would check spot price more than once or twice a day. I check it maybe 3 times a week but I normally run across someone that has it in their sigline at least once a day. I figure if anything significant were to take place I'd read about it here.

    Maybe only 20 times a day, I prefer this site:

    linky

    I usually have two tabs open, one for AU and one for AG.
    I detach the charts and divide my monitor with the two charts.

    I usually set the time base to 1 min., for added gusto I'll set
    it to trades.

    Somedays I dont check at all. I probably check 2-3 times a week tops. I really dont care about day to day fluctuations let alone hourly ones!

    Same here. I glance at it when I'm using the computer and I look at it more often when PM's are active/volatile.

    it is called google desktop. You can add several apps like a clock, weather, kitco, pics ect and it can sit on top or on the side of your main screen. It is always there and keeps up to date within minutes.

    Now the followup question.......on these quiet Saturday mornings, do you miss the adrenaline rush you get from checking KITCO during a roller-coaster market???
