Do you watch your companies ticker?

Question

For those of you who work for publicly traded companies, how closely do you watch your companies ticker? I find it can become a little distracting when my RSUs are doing well, and am wondering if others get sucked into market watch or if you all are good at tuning it out and maintaining your focus?

Accepted Answer

Never worked for a publicly traded company, but I did work for a financial media company that was publishing stories on the markets with the intent of creating trade signals.

Answer

I used to, but I have no idea on why it would go up or down outside of days where there is an earnings calls.

Answer

I’m glad I work at a private company where this isn’t a distraction anymore

Answer

I had to Google what ticker was.

Answer

DONT. If I had a dollar for every time we have told our clients at AMZN, RIVN, TSLA, etc. to stop fucking calling me every time there is a X% daily move I would have twice as much money as I have now.

Answer

I have in the past. My current company is private. But in previous publicly owned companies I have checked-in on the stock price every couple weeks. More out of curiosity than anything because I tend to focus only on the things I can actually change.

Answer

I still glance at my former employer’s stick performance, as I still own stocks.  And my earlier employer as well.  But it was never distracting unless I was getting close to deciding to sell some.

Answer

It's a distraction more than anything else, I focus on my inputs.

Answer

Going private all the time here!

Answer

When I did work for a publicly traded org, I didn’t check it because I had little to no control over it.

Answer

Never look at it
