We have a lot of individual stocks on our portfolio, so just for yucks, DH checked them yesterday. Bottom line, it just reminded us why we're better off not looking--they were up for the day but down for the year. Interestingly, our mutual funds were down yesterday--still scratching my head on that. But again, overall, they've been doing great by us, so I'm not going to let one day break our faith. It was just interesting. And angina-inducing.
Depending on your broker/investment account, many don't show you the movement in your mutual funds until they are all settled out and technically in the next "day." My old account used to show me around 4:30 pm and hour and a half after market close. My new account doesn't settle up til later on the mutual funds; I check it in the morning of the next day pre market open.
