sure has been a crazy market...
on a good note tho.. I'm up 4% overall, with all my "Investing 102" strategy purchases i've made this year so far. Not bad i think!! Only 2 are "in the red" and one is only 1% in the red (CVX), other 6ish% (MCD), but that was bought before Investing 102 came along, when i was researching dividend investing on my own (starting to).
Although, technically, I'd want them ALL go to down for the next few years so i can build up more positions with the dividends they pay out.. but it is alot easier seeing your "picks" in the green vs the red. lol
