Watch Your Portfolio.
If you want to know what is happening to your money and know how you may be able to make more of it, you need to know what is going on in your portfolio.
Once upon a time it was a world where the only way you could really keep an eye on what was happening with your investment portfolio was to wait for monthly or quarterly statements to come in, or call your broker and ask. These days there is a much easier way.
Most investment portfolios can be monitored online. Investors can log into their account any time to access up-to-date information on their investments.
Know Your Investments
The next thing you need to do is understand the investments that you are involved in. Whether it's the overall industry, the REITs and real estate mutual funds in your account or any other pertinent information relating to your portfolio, learn all you can. This will give you a little more insight as you watch your portfolio.

Learn From Your Portfolio
Now is the time to combine those last two pieces. When there are changes to your portfolio, make a note of the changes. The more drastic they are, the more you should really take a note of them. In addition to noting the changes that are happening, you should also be sure to take a closer look at what is happening in the industry at the same time.
This type of study will let you know what you can expect in the future from your portfolio if there are similar industry changes. The more you know, and can predict actions in your portfolio by what is happening in the industry the more you will know when to buy or sell to make your investments see larger returns.
