My OXY stock is at a record high too! It's only down $400 now. It was much lower.
I do wonder though, how much all this talk about what's supposedly going to happen, even though no one really knows, affects the market. While I'm in this for the long run and don't care about record highs either, I can't help but think if people would just chill and let it ride, the ups and downs might not be so bad. Maybe I'm too much of a cynic or just don't bother to count my chickens until they hatch though.
Regardless, my choices aren't doing bad and I'm happy to see the NYSE up. I'll update soon as it's been a year since I started all this and I'd like to see how I'm doing compared to my other accounts that are controlled by the pros.
